I know what the school grounds and immediate local area are like I know what another far away country is like I can name some physical features of each area and simple human features which I come across in my daily lives eg field, hill, sea, beach, cliff, buildings, village, town etc. I know which features I can find in each area and which in only one or other? I can identify seasonal weather in our local area. I can locate cold places in the world using atlases and globes to locate the North and South poles I can recognise and name these features, using pictures, books and first hand experience where possible Place knowledge understand geographical similarities and differences through studying the human and physical geography of a small area of the United Kingdom, and of a small area in a contrasting non-European country I know the geographical features of Bearsted I understand what life is like in another part of the United Kingdom, and I can compare this with life in Bearsted. I understand what life is like in a far away hot country and I can compare this with life in Bearsted I know what the weather, physical features, lifestyle, transport etc are like in another part of the UK and in a faraway place. Human and physical geography identify seasonal and daily weather patterns in the United Kingdom and the location of hot and cold areas of the world in relation to the Equator and the North and South Poles I can identify daily weather patterns in UK – cross curricular with data handling in maths I can locate tropical rainforests and other hot areas of the world. Use basic geographical vocabulary to refer to: key physical features, including: beach, cliff, coast, forest, hill, mountain, sea, ocean, river, soil, valley, vegetation, season and weather I can recognise and name these features and begin to understand how they are formed and how they might change over time key human features, including: city, town, village, factory, farm, house, office, port, harbour and shop.
I can recognise and name these features, using pictures, books and first hand experience where possible I can use maps, globes and atlases regularly I can add to my blank world map outline and a blank UK map outline as I learn about new countries and areas I can create maps of the local area – the walk to school, walk to the Green and maps of the school buildings and grounds. I can use these to show a simple route. I can use compass directions to describe relative locations, starting from local area. I can create plan perspectives of classroom, school buildings and school grounds. I can use small world toys and sand etc to recreate birds eye views. I can use aerial photos of the local area to recognise landmarks, including our school buildings, school field and Bearsted Green I can create a simple map of the local area, without a key. I can build on existing knowledge of a familiar place eg school grounds and immediate area I can recognise and name these features and begin to understand how they are formed and how they might change over time Geographical skills and fieldwork. use world maps, atlases and globes to identify the United Kingdom and its countries, as well as the countries, continents and oceans studied at this key stage . I can use maps, globes and atlases regularly to locate places around the world I can use my blank world map outline and a blank UK map outline to add countries and areas as I learn about them. use simple compass directions (North, South, East and West) and locational and directional language [for example, near and far; left and right], to describe the location of features and routes on a map. I can create a map of the local area, marking on the position of physical and human features. I can show a route on the map I can use vocabulary of near and far and left/right, and recap North, South, East and West. I can look at and understand maps of all localities studied and identify features in relation to each other. use aerial photographs and plan perspectives to recognise landmarks and basic human and physical features; devise a simple map; and use and construct basic symbols in a key . I can use and understand aerial photos of all localities studied to identify features and landmarks I can create a map of an island in the UK and include a simple key and 2 figure grid references
