The National Curriculum states that children should be taught to use basic geographical to refer to key physical features, including beach, cliff, coast, forest, hill, mountain, sea, ocean, river, soil, valley, vegetation, season and weather. Also children should be taught to use world maps, atlases and globes to identify the United Kingdom and its countries, as well as the countries, continents and oceans studied at this key stage.
In this lesson children learn about the physical geographical vocabulary associated with coasts using photographs of the coasts. Children participate in a quiz about the coasts. Using Google Earth children investigate which countries have coasts and which countries are landlocked. Children research which animals live near the coast in the United Kingdom.
