  1. Mapping Our WorldChildren learn to read Ordnance Survey maps with confidence, moving from four-figure to six-figure grid references, decoding OS symbols, using the eight-point compass, and comparing paper and digital mapping tools.
  2. Natural Resources, Trade and Economic ActivityChildren explore how natural resources are spread unevenly across the world, how countries trade goods and services with each other, and how economic activity can be sorted into three sectors — primary, secondary and tertiary — with real examples from around the globe.
  3. Comparing Regions: UK, Europe and the AmericasStudents compare three regions — a UK region, a European region, and an American region — examining their human and physical geography, climate, land use, and landscapes. By the end, students can identify key similarities and differences across continents using geographical vocabulary and data skills.
  4. Fieldwork InvestigatorsChildren discover how geographers investigate real places by planning an enquiry question, collecting data with fieldwork tools, recording results on maps and charts, and drawing conclusions linked to broader geographical ideas.
