Japan fact sheet.
Includes locational information and geographical features broken into short easy to read sections with pictures and photos.
I have used this with pupils in Years 1-4 to help them retrieve information / develop their knowledge to write about a country in a range of genres (newspaper report, non-fiction report, weather report or information text etc). I have also used it with a guided reading group and a set of questions linked to the country followed up with a written comprehension exercise.
In geography lessons I have used this factsheet with a small group and asked the pupils to compare the physical and geographical features of Japan with the UK.

Geography World New Year greetings and flags KS1,2,3
193 cards with the flag of each country which is an official member of the United Nations. Each card has the country flag and the greeting ‘Happy New Year’ translated into the official and most widely used language of that country. Each card includes the greeting in the written language of that country as well as a simpler form of pronunciation from the written script.
Useful and fun to use with topic such as ‘Celebrations’, Countries of the world’, ‘Maps and flags’. I have also used these cards to encourage pupils to find similarities and differences (pupil suggestions eg similar languages, colours of flags, flag designs and continents, writing scripts and forms). The pupils can have fun recognising flags and trying to say ‘Happy New Year’ in world languages. Also can be used as a basis/component part in a class assembly.
