World Maps Lesson
A lesson that focuses on world maps, looking at continents and oceans before focusing in on five of the continents and discussing some of the countries that are included within each of the continents.
The lesson can be used as a general introduction lesson or as a recap lesson at the start of a new year to ensure children know some basic information around continents and oceans. There are general check points to keep quizzing and an activity linked to naming the continents and oceans.
For those in the U.K, there are then three slides that follow the activity looking at the difference between Great Britain and the United Kingdom.
Natural Hazards Lesson
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.
United Kingdom and Great Britain Geography Lessons
Two fully-resourced lessons that focus on introducing or recapping the geography of the United Kingdom and Great Britain.
The first lesson focuses on looking at the difference between Great Britain and the United Kingdom as well as then being able to locate and identify the countries on a world map. This is followed up with identifying the U.K on a world map as well as identifying the countries as separate outlines. Included is a lesson presentation with modeling and discussion as well as an independent activity that includes an answer sheet.
The second lesson focuses on recapping the first lesson as well as then identifying the capital cities of the four countries and the sea and oceans surrounding the United Kingdom. Included is a lesson presentation that provides the chance to model and discuss, a recap task linked to the previous lesson to support retention of learning and independent activities linked to the learning. An answer sheet is included for both the recap task and independent activities.

UK Cities and Compass Points Double Lesson
Two fully-resourced lessons that focus on looking at cities in the United Kingdom and being able to use different compass points.
The first lesson focuses on looking at different types of settlement and being able to identify these by images/ by description. This then moves on to focusing on cities in the United Kingdom, identifying cities on a map as well as then being challenged to find more cities for each county of the United KIngdom. Included is a lesson presentation with modeling and discussion as well as independent activities that includes answer sheets. There is also a recap task based on previous lessons in the sequence to identify capital cities of the UK and seas and oceans.

These are then used to link to the first lesson in being able to describe the position of one city to another using compass points. Included is a lesson presentation that provides the chance to model and discuss, a recap task linked to the previous lesson to support retention of learning and independent activities linked to the learning. An answer sheet is included for both the recap task and independent activities.
