All of the skills and areas of knowledge are included.'Enrichment activities' allow you to incorporate other subjects as well. Use the local environment of your school to develop geographical skills and knowledge specified in the National Curriculum.
This topic is the same as the Geography Skills topic for lower key stage 2, as the National Curriculum is specified across the whole of key stage 2. It is up to you the teacher to decide how and when to cover the different parts of the geography curriculum. Geography Skills can be used as an overall introduction to the subject in Year 3 or as a way to refresh geography learning in Year 4 or Year 5 or as a way to pull together the skills learned across the key stage in Year 6. It complements our other geography focussed topics for upper key stage 2: Earth Matters and Comparing People and Places.
Our KS2 Geography Curriculum Planner can help your school plan and track coverage across the whole key stage.
