This lesson is designed for KS2 students. It can be taught as a stand alone lesson but is also available as part of three wider units, all of which are available on TES: -Volcanoes -Earthquakes -Volcanoes & Earthquakes The presentation introduces the idea that the world’s crust is split into tectonic plates and looks at how these are related to volcanoes and earthquakes. The activity challenges students to identify tectonic plates using a map. It is differentiated two ways: Easier – Students identify the world’s tectonic plates using a colour-coordinated map. Harder – Students identify the world’s tectonic plates using a plain map. Extension – Students use an atlas to find out which tectonic plate countries of the world are located on.

This is the planning, resources and Power Point of an Understanding the World lesson all about Autumn. I deliver this lesson in the first week of Autumn 2 after children have collected leaves and conkers using their autumn bags. Children have an Understanding the World input one afternoon a week and I ensure there is an independent activity and a TA normally takes a group to lead an activity too. The provision in the classroom stays the same in these afternoons but I may add some enhancements to further children’s knowledge such as adding conkers and leaves to our exploration area or adding wellies and coats to our role play area.

Activity sheet with a large world map in the centre. Labels for the continents and oceans at the top and bottom, students can cut and stick or link up with lines. They're then asked to find their home country and label it to understand where it is in the world. Great to photocopy onto A3 to increase the map size.

This lesson is part of Mountain Environments, a Geography unit designed for students in upper KS2 (Y4-6). First the presentation recaps the structure of the Earth and how its crust is split into tectonic plates. It then investigates the different ways tectonic plates can move and how two tectonic plates colliding can form fold mountains (e.g. the Himalayas). The differentiated activity challenges students to work out which tectonic plates formed different fold mountain ranges around the world. Easier – Students have to find one tectonic plate. Medium – Students have to find two tectonic plates. Harder – Students find the name of each mountain range and two tectonic plates. Extension – Students complete a cloze procedure paragraph about fold mountains. If you like this resource, we would appreciate a review!

Taken from our PSHE EYFS/KS1 Resource file One lesson with activities to get the children thinking about key questions. About the unit in general: The material in this unit contains ideas on how PSHE and Citizenship can be introduced in the early years. Many of the skills and values that fall within this area of the curriculum are taught throughout each day in an Early Years classroom. The qualities they encourage are illustrated on the following page. Three themes: • Fairness • Relationships • Choices have been covered in depth. Many of the qualities that are developed in PSHE and Citizenship are embraced within these particular subjects. They are fundamental to the Early Years curriculum. Timing In this unit most of the activities would take 10-15 minutes. However, some of the ideas presented are not full activities but suggestions of how to incorporate the topic into the everyday classroom Find the full unit on TES: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/eyfs-pshe-understanding-the-world-back-to-school-unit-of-work-6-lessons-unit-12319666 Leave a review
