National Curriculum
Understand geographical similarities and
differences through studying human and
physical geography of a small area.
Use atlases and maps to identify the local
area.
Use aerial photographs to plan
perspectives to recognise landmarks and
basic human and physical features. Use fieldwork and observational skills to
study the geography of their school and
grounds and the key human and physical
features of its surrounding environment.
Name and locate and identify characteristics
of the four countries and capital cities of the
UK and its surrounding seas.

Use of geographical information from maps,
atlases, globes.
Name and locate the world’s seven
continents and five oceans.
Identify the locations of hot and cold areas
of the world in relation to the Equator and
the North and South Poles.
Use globes, atlases and world maps to
identify continents and oceans.
Key Question

Key Knowledge
Children will be able to:
Locate the local environment on a globe
and map.
Follow a basic fieldwork approach question
– observe – collect – describe.
(More detailed analysis required from Year
2.)
Develop geographical description skills
based on their fieldwork findings.
Record what they notice and use key
vocabulary about the local weather.
Make decisions and use basic maps.
Children will be able to:
Locate the UK in general terms on a globe,
world map and map of Europe. Pupils develop
knowledge in overview of some of the key
physical and human features of the UK. Develop knowledge of the names of the
countries of the UK, their capital cities and
the surrounding seas, identify these on a map
and locate them on a simple messy map of the
UK.
Develop knowledge about the key physical
features of the UK to include the surrounding
seas. Pupils will develop knowledge about using a
simple atlas to find information and present
findings on a map.
Develop knowledge about some of the basic terms
used to describe the daily weather and how
weather differs around the UK on the same day.
(Y1 local weather Y2- weather around UK capitals).
Y2 describe all they know about UK.
Children will be able to: Identify at a simple level some of the key
features of different climate zones and
weather by using geographical photographs
and build on their vocabulary.
Locate the features of the coldest places on
Earth.
Know the different location of the cold
areas of the world, and some distinctive
characteristics of the polar regions.
Identify the location and key features of
the equatorial region. Begin to understand the impact of physical
features on human life in a country on the
equator.
Carry out local weather fieldwork and
compare to hot and cold places.
Continued for Y1 from last topic.
Y2 more detailed comparison required.
Key skills Use maps.
Use fieldwork and observational skills.
Use directional language (near and far; left
and right introduce North) Year1
Use simple compass directions( North,
South, East, West) Year 2
Recall countries, capitals and seas of UK.
Y2 add these details to a simple map using
compass directions.
Y1 more simple map using North.
Year 1 add labels to a simple map.
Year 2 make a simple map and add a basic key.
Identify basic features on a photograph and a
map.
Year 1 give a basic outline of how local
weather affects people/ places.
Year 2 give a basic outline of how national
weather affects people/places/vegetation.
Year 2 summarise findings about UK.
Begin to recall continents and oceans of the
world.
Identify basic features on a photograph.
Pupils use a piece of information from a
source or fieldwork to agree or disagree
with an idea. Year 2 only.
Pupils can use a globe to identify hot and
cold places and the Equator.
