Thank you for looking at my resource.

This resource includes a fully comprehensive powerpoint ,worksheets/resources catering to a wide range of abilities, preparation list and a lesson plan.

This is the third lesson in a sequence .The lesson can be taught independently without the need for the past lesson or the further lessons. This lesson can be picked up and taught straight from however is fully editable.

This lesson has been split into two parts too reduce cognitive overload.
Part 1 - Cardiff and Belfast
Part 2 - London and Edinburgh

Children will start by rewind (recapping) on prior learning. Children will actively engage in this by discussing with a partner the features of town and country. Children will then work together as a class to name the four countries of the UK.

Children will use the story of The Country Mouse and the Town Mouse (A story ppt has been attached if teaching this without using the previous lesson). Children will be informed that Molly is from Wales and the capital city is Cardiff. Children will learn about some of the generic city features and then will be shown unique features found in Cardiff.

Following on from this children will reflect, then discuss which of the unique features they would most like to visit and why?

Children will then complete a written application task where they identify what country Cardiff is the capital city of and which two unique places they would visit.

Children will then be introduced to Molly’s Uncle Mike who lives in Belfast. Just like Molly, Mike will introduce some of the generic features of Belfast and then show some of the unique features.

Children will again complete a written application task.

A helping hands task (supported task) is provided.
A chilli challenge is provided to extend learning. This should be given to all children. The ‘differentiation’ will be based on how children access the task.

Past/current vocabulary is explicitly taught and children are reminded of this at suitable and regular opportunities.

Stem sentences are provided throughout to promote oracy and allow children to focus on the geography rather than formation of a sentence.
