I currently work at the top end of Primary school in Year 5/6. I create resources for a range of subjects and am always open to suggestions for resources people require.

A fully-resourced lesson that focuses on being able to name and locate the continents of the world and the oceans.
Included is:
A presentation that introduces the different continents and oceans, involving some discussion around these, questions and some facts around continents.
An activity that links to the presentation with questions and a map task for naming the oceans and continents. There is also a challenge question for those that finish. An answer sheet is also included for the activity.
A support sheet for the activity which is a map with the continents and oceans named.
This lesson can be used in either KS1 or 2 with a focus on teaching continents and oceans for the first time or coming back to it at the start of KS2.
An introductory lesson to the Equator, hemispheres and tropics, suitable for either Year 2 or lower KS2.
Included in the lesson is:
A presentation for the lesson that includes maps that highlight the different areas and some information for discussion, as well as a recap task from a previous lesson focusing on continents and oceans. The recap task is also included as part of the lesson pack with an answer sheet but can easily be ignored for this lesson to stand alone.
An activity that requires children to label the various aspects discussed as well as questions and a challenge question linked to the lesson. An answer sheet is also included for this.
A support sheet that provides a labelled version of the map bar hemispheres.
A lesson that focuses on being able to look at different countries and the continent they are part of.
Included in the lesson is:
A lesson presentation that includes a world map to discuss as well as some questions about which continent different countries are in.
A recap task (this lesson is the eighth in a sequence having focused on continents, oceans, the Americas, Africa, Asia, Australia, Antarctica and Europe) which can be used or ignored as the lesson can stand alone. An answer sheet is also included for the recap task.
An independent activity that includes finding countries for different continents and naming which continent certain countries are in. There is also a challenge question to extend understanding as well as a task to find the capital city of different countries. An answer sheet is also included for this alongside a world map to support.
50 page Powerpoint that introduces the continent of North America to children.
Within the Powerpoint, the 23 sovereign states of North America are included. Included are the flags for every country, the capital city and currency for each country as well as two to three facts for every country in North America.
Useful for introducing North America or countries within North America as well as being able to create a fact file using the slides.
112 page Powerpoint that introduces the continent of Europe to children.
Within the powerpoint, Europe is split into six different zones, introducing every country in Europe. Included are the flags for every country, the capital city and currency for each country as well as two to three facts for every country in Europe.
Useful for introducing Europe or countries within Europe as well as being able to create a factfile using the slides.
A lesson that acts as the final lesson in a nine lesson sequence, reviewing prior learning linked to the different continents and oceans of the world, including the Equator and tropics.
Included are a range of tasks that provide children the opportunity to highlight what they know about continents and countries. There is also a presentation included to discuss answers and an answer sheet for each section of the activities.
A lesson that focuses on natural hazards, particularly in being able to identify the differences between climatic and tectonic hazards.
The lesson works well as an introductory lesson in teaching pupils about different natural hazards and understanding why these occur. There is everything needed to be able to deliver the lesson including the lesson PowerPoint, starter activity, three activities and support sheets.
The lesson starts with a starter focusing on the equator and tropics to prompt understanding of climate and weather conditions. This then moves on to identifying key vocabulary and introducing the idea of natural hazards.
Activity One then requires pupils to sort examples of natural hazards into climatic and tectonic. There is a cut and stick version of this with images or a separate version using written text for those looking to save on time and printing.
This then moves on to the second activity focusing on being able to identify similarities and differences between climatic and tectonic hazards. This is presented as a Venn diagram with a support sheet to help with ideas. However, there is also an alternative version of the activity should teachers wish to use it, with a reduced outcome through limited boxes available.
This is then followed up by more discussion and a review task to check understanding at the end of the lesson.
Additionally, a support sheet is provided with the key vocabulary, information and images from the PowerPoint all provided on one page for pupils to refer back to.
A lesson that focuses on comparing and contrasting physical and human geographical features between Canada and Spain. Each slide has a map of Spain and of Canada for a particular feature with the class then spending time noting down similarities and differences. These can then be discussed as a class before moving on to the next slide.
A lesson that focuses on comparing and contrasting physical and human geographical features between the United Kingdom and Spain. Each slide has a map of Spain and of the U.K for a particular feature with the class then spending time noting down similarities and differences. These can then be discussed as a class before moving on to the next slide.
Two lessons to focus on the physical and human geography of Canada.
Lesson 1 (titled Lesson 7) - A lesson that focuses on the physical geography of Canada, including looking at the rivers, seas and terrain. All the resources that are needed to run the lesson are here including differentiated worksheets, the presentation and maps that can be used if you don't have access to atlases etc.
Lesson 2 (titled Lesson 8) - A lesson that focuses on the human geography of Canada, including looking at population trends, average life expectancy and land use.
