This lesson is part of Investigating Rivers, a unit designed for upper KS2 (Y4-6).

The presentation takes students on a journey from the source to the mouth of the River Thames. Starting at Thames Head, the source of the River Thames, students investigate maps and satellite photos and try to identify river features along the way. Other locations include Windsor Castle, the Isle of Dogs in London and the mouth of the river at Southend-on-Sea.

The writing-based activity challenges students to first label each map/satellite photo and then write a paragraph describing the location and river features they can see. It is differentiated two ways:

Easier – Students have maps/satellite photos and cloze procedure paragraphs to complete.
Harder – Students have maps/satellite photos, a wordbank and write their own paragraphs.

A really helpful and well presented resource to support the geography element for our Y5 theme topic on the Tudors- a glossary for the terminology would have been even better than a word bank, but still a great time-saver!

Cannot wait to use it with my Year 6 class. Linking this to our core text- 'The London Eye Mystery' by S.Dowd.
