This could be used in a number of ways and provides a one page, graphic way of organising the information. There is also an example one included for the Christchurch earthquake in 2011 for how the sheet could be completed.

An activity that gets children to find the names of rivers in the United Kingdom when they have been jumbled up. Works well for getting children to identify different rivers on a map and their location so that they can then find the correct spelling.

A planning overview resource to support the teaching of Science, History and Geography across KS2. Every KS2 topic is included with each planning overview following the same structure: Knowledge children must know - This provides a minimum level of what is expected for children to know by the end of the unit and provides consistency across classes. This also helps ensure progression and cohesion between topics. Ways of knowing they know - Ideas for checking understanding and knowing that children have learnt the minimum level of knowledge. Vocabulary - Key vocabulary across the unit that children will need to understand Other links - Links to other subjects and ideas for investigations (science) for each topic The geography then runs slightly differently in that instead of cross-curricular links, it highlights which areas of the curriculum you are meeting. These sheets help start the planning process by making it clear what children should know by the end for staff to then use and link together in a sequence of learning. This then feeds through KS2 as it ensures a minimum level of knowledge that supports progression and cohesion across the curriculum. There are missing elements such as local fieldwork for geography which needs teaching and some match local needs for our context so these would need changing to match your local area. Because of mixed classes, the Geography and History work over two years though with an additional history of choice added each year though this could be changed to fit single year groups.
