This is a full unit of work for UKS2 which focuses on the city of Las Vegas within North America. The download includes a full written plan for 12 lessons, a unit title page, an end of unit assessment, clear and detailed PPT slides to accompany each lesson and all necessary resources. Overview of subject coverage: In this unit, pupils will explore the unique city of Las Vegas, located in the Mojave Desert in the United Sates of America. They will investigate how physical geography, including climate and landscape, influences human activity and settlement patterns. Pupils will learn about the desert biome, focusing on temperature, rainfall and native plants and animals, considering how Las Vegas has adapted to thrive in such an environment. The unit will also examine Las Vegas as a contrasting locality to the UK, encouraging pupils to critically compare and contrast aspects such as population, land use, tourism and sustainability. Through map work, pupils will develop their locational knowledge by identifying Las Vegas on maps of North America and exploring its geographical features using digital mapping tools. Pupils will consider the environmental impact of urban development in desert regions and explore how Las Vegas manages water resources and energy consumption. The unit will promote geographical enquiry, critical thinking, and the use of geographical vocabulary, while fostering an understanding of how human and physical processes interact to shape places. By the end of the unit, pupils will have a deeper appreciation of global diversity and the challenges and opportunities of living in extreme environments.

This is a full unit of work for UKS2. I have used it with Year 6 this year. The download includes a full written plan, clear and well presented PPT slides for each lesson, all necessary resources and a title page, The unit consists of six hour long lessons and the scheme of work is taken from the RGS’s unit on approaching the geography of Antarctica through the viewpoint of Shackleton’s Endurance Expedition. Overview of subject coverage: In this unit, pupils will build on their prior knowledge of the seven continents (Asia, Africa, Europe, North America, South America, Australia and Antarctica) and their associate locational knowledge. Pupils will think about Antarctica and continents in terms of the dynamics of the Earth’s time and different types of landscape. Pupils will understand the locality of Antarctica as one of the world’s continents. The aim of the unit is to develop an enquiry on the Polar region of Antarctica focusing on Shackleton’s 1914-17 Endurance Expedition. Pupils will develop knowledge within context and progress with their atlas skills, interpreting a range of sources of geographical information. They will develop their geographical vocabulary and use the language learned in a context-specific way. Pupils will also be given the opportunity to apply geographical knowledge to writing at length.

This is a full scheme of work for the KS2 Geography topic of Extreme Earth and covers mountains, volcanoes and earthquakes. The unit consists of all the planning and resources necessary to teach 12 one-hour lessons (the twelth lesson being an end of unit assessment). The scheme of work has been written to meet the outcomes of the National Curriculum and could be used to teach any class in KS2. I have taught this unit to both Year 4 and Year 6. The scheme of work was written with reference to the Royal Geographical Society’s planning which is an excellent resource. Overview of subject coverage: In this unit, pupils will begin by discovering the physical geography of Mount Everest, the highest mountain in the world. Through an account of the first successful ascent of Mount Everest, pupils will appreciate the global significance of the location and man’s endeavour. Pupils will then establish the geographical location of the main continental mountain ranges. Moving to the UK, the highest peaks of each constituent nation will be identified before conducting a case study into Snowdon. Using an Ordnance Survey map of Snowdon, pupils will develop their map skills. Key questions will be asked about how mountains are formed including the role of plate tectonics. Pupils will go on to look at volcanoes; why and how an eruption happens and different types of volcanoes. Pupils will examine how people, interact with mountain environments and understand the inherent dangers of living in the foothills of a volcano. Finally, pupils will focus on earthquakes; where they are located, why they happen, how they happen and the aftermath on landscapes and people. The 2011 Japan earthquake and tsunami will be highlighted as a case study.

This is a full scheme of work suitable for UKS2 or KS3. I created it alongside the Royal Geographical Society’s unit of study. I have used it with Year 7 as an introduction to geography unit to start the year but it could be used with other year groups at other points during the year. It meets the National Curriculum requirements for study and includes lots of practical and interactive activities to engage the children and reignite their love for the subject. The unit consists of 6 hour-long lessons. Overview of subject coverage: This unit will stimulate an interest in and a sense of wonder about places. Pupils will develop ‘geographical imaginations’ of places at a variety of scales and understand the physical and human characteristics of them. Most of the places studied in this unit are in extreme environments, places where human impact has been limited so far. Pupils will start in the Arctic and learn about glacial features. They will move from one of the coldest parts of the world to the hottest – Death Valley – and solve the mystery of the sliding rocks of the Racetrack Playa, a unique and bizarre phenomenon, thought to be caused by Aeolian processes. Pupils will learn about Stonehenge and its environmental impact as a tourist attraction and contrast it to a tourist location in Tasmania, exploring the formation of sea stacks. The unit ends with a gratuitous ‘awe and wonder’ lesson to show that places can be fantastic when viewed at other scales, particularly from space, helping pupils to create new interpretations of place, space and process.

This is a fulll scheme / unit of work for KS3 Religious Studies on the topic of Evil and Suffering. It consists of six 1-hour lessons designed to be taught over a half term. It is an enquiry based approach to Religious Studies and is centred around the question, ‘can Godl love us in an evil world?’ The planning is detailed and contains all links needed. It clearly outlines how each lesson meets the ‘learning about’ and ‘learning from’ strands of religious education teaching. Unit Overview: Pupils will build on their prior knowledge of major world religions by exploring different religious approaches to evil and suffering. Pupils will explore one of the biggest questions in religion and philosophy: Why is there evil and suffering in the world? They will focus on how Christians understand and respond to this problem, using key stories and teachings from the Bible. Pupils will critically examine the problem of evil; if God is all-powerful and loving, why does he allow suffering? They will read the Genesis story of The Fall and decide whether human disobedience warrants their suffering. Pupils will also read the Old Testament story of Job, a man who suffers greatly despite being faithful to God and what his story teaches Christians about trust, patience and divine wisdom. Finally, pupils will explore how Christians make sense of suffering – through prayer, helping others and believing in a greater purpose to life. This will conclude with a case study of Desmond Tutu, examining how his faith allowed him to stand up against injustice in the world. The download includes: Full detailed planning for a six-lesson unit Clear and well presented PPT slides to accompany each lesson Unit title page with an overview of how the unit coverage meets National Curriculum guidance for the subject All resources needed to go along with the lessons

This is a full scheme of work for a KS3 Religious Studies unit on the topic of creation stories. It consists of 6 one-hour lessons. It is written to take an enquiry based approach to learning, encouraging critical thinking, empathy and respect for diversity. Unit Overview: Pupils will build on their prior knowledge of major world religions by exploring a range of creation stories including the Judeo-Christian account, Islamic perspectives and Hindu views. Through these stories, pupils will examine how different groups of religious people understand the origins of the world and humanity’s place in it. Pupils will compare creation stories, considering how these stories reflect beliefs about the nature of God or gods, the purpose of life, and the relationship between humans and the natural world. A key focus will be on the concepts of dominion and stewardship—two contrasting interpretations of humanity’s role in creation. Pupils will explore how these ideas influence religious attitudes toward the environment and ethical decision-making. The unit will also introduce the science versus religion debate, particularly in relation to the Theory of Evolution. Pupils will consider whether science and religion are in conflict or can be seen as complementary ways of understanding the world. Finally, pupils will reflect on their own views about the environment and our responsibility to protect the Earth. They will evaluate how religious and non-religious worldviews can inspire action on environmental issues. The download includes: Detailed planning for the entire unit which includes how the two strands of learning from religion and learning about religion are met Well presented PPT slides for each lesson All the resources needed to deliver the lessons Unit title page which includes unit coverage
