A breakdown of 22 lessons designed to teach KS2 about their local area over a term. This planning predominantly links to the history and geography curriculum but has cross curricular opportunities too. On the last page, I have included opportunities for writing, art and DT linked to the local area study. I have included a lesson title, teaching, activity ideas and national curriculum links taken from the National Curriculum in England © Crown copyright 2013 These ideas and activities are adaptable to your own local area. It is useful to have access to digimaps or other mapping software for this planning.

Dictionary lesson for guided reading suitable for KS2. Alphabet on the worksheet to help scaffold.
