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 second 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.
Children will start by rewind (recapping) on prior learning. Children will actively engage in this by playing an A-Z game where they will name features of a town and features of the countryside.
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 has only told Milo that she lives on earth. Children will discuss why this isn’t helpful for Milo to locate her. This will lead into learning about the countries of the UK. Children will spend time exploring google earth and how the UK and its countries are part of this.
Children will complete two tasks. The first will be naming the four countries on a blank map. Children will then be shown Molly and Milo’s relatives locations and name where they live.
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.
