Local study Traffic problems set of 4 worksheets. KS2. Worksheet 1: Pupil traffic survey for pupils to investigate traffic flow on a street nearest to their school (morning, lunchtime, afternoon). The worksheet is simple to use with pictures for easy completion. Pupils count using a tally. Great for small group with an adult. I used this and gave a different group of 6 the task on a specific day of the week. All pupils had a chance to carry out the survey. By the end of the week, we had a picture of the road traffic problems over the course of a week at three different times of the day. Was great for comparison work. Worksheet 2: A set of follow up questions stemming from the survey plus 4 questions asking pupils their opinions about the road after the survey eg how safe do you feel riding a bike on this road? Worksheet 3: Problems caused by traffic through a picture/phrase matching task. Worksheet 4: Improving traffic issues by using road signs in town centres. Links well with work on Cities, Transport, Local Study.

The local buildings are centred on an East of England study, but this can be easily amended on the Word version to suit your own context if needed.

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.

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.

AQA Geography A level hazards resource. This is a model answer for the essay question below: With reference to a local scale of a specific place in a hazardous setting, assess the extent to which the physical nature of hazards can shape the character of a community and its ability to respond to risk. (20 marks) I have written this question and model answers to help students revise this section of the course: Case study at a local scale of a specified place in a hazardous setting to illustrate the physical nature of the hazard and analyse how the economic, social and political character of its community reflects the presence and impacts of the hazard and the community’s response to the risk. Having looked at the textbooks for the section, I felt that the materials on offer were not very effective. Therefore, I have created this document with a model question and answer as well as supporting web links that have maps and diagrams that can be effectively used to create an ‘analyse’ type question. This resource has been seen by an AQA advisor who confirms that it effectively teaches this element of the course. This resource will require a one hour lesson and homework to teach with.
