Intent |
Children will understand the location of the West midlands within the UK and identify examples of human and physical geography in the local area. |
Children will be able to identify different features and landmarks of the UK, including weather patterns. They will use maps and atlases to locate countries and capital cities within the UK. |
Children will gain awareness of the world around them by learning about the physical and human geography of Europe. They will consider different parts of Europe as holiday destinations and the effect that climate change is having. |
Children will discover the geographical reasons why earthquakes and volcano eruptions occur and why they are located in certain areas. |
Children will discover the different layers of a rainforest and recognise the importance of the Amazon Rainforest as an ecosystem. |
Children will learn about life in Brazil by looking at the environment, tourism, work and leisure and compare it with the UK. |
