Maps KS1 Geography Unit

This unit covers the objectives from the National Curriculum for maps. Included are detailed Smart Notebook Slides including lesson objectives, detailed learning, modeling of task, success criteria and plenary. Differentiated resources for each lesson are included. The objectives covered are:

To be able to use compass points to navigate around a map.
To use aerial photographs and plan perspectives to recognise and create landmarks.
Use simple fieldwork and observational skills to study the geography of the school and surroundings.
To devise a simple map and use and construct basic symbols in a key.
To design a map, referring to key human features.

For two of the lessons, I have used an aerial map of the area Grimethorpe but you can easily replace this with an map of your local area.
