For each geography topic, from Pre-school to Y6, I have defined 10 words. These were chosen with the topic’s key knowledge and the year group in which it is studied (related to the pupils’ developmental stage) in mind. These should be given to each pupil at the start of the unit, briefly discussed as a class and ‘RAGged’ by the pupil, providing an AfL snapshot of their prior knowledge. This information can be used by the teacher to adapt the coming lessons to embed the words (and their meanings) into pupils’ memories. The process will be completed again at the end of the unit, which will give a clear, visual measure of progress
