A Region in South America (Amazonia)

**A fully planned and resourced 6 week unit on ‘A Region in South America’, comparing it with a region in the UK (The Solent). Suitable for upper KS2 (Y5 and Y6) but easily adaptable for lower KS2. **

The unit follows a geographical enquiry cycle, with key questions throughout.

Teaching strategies focus on visual tools and active learning, so that children ‘do geography’ rather than learning facts.

Each lesson can be kept ‘short and sweet’ or you have the option to ‘explore deeper’ with discussion about all the key concepts.

Covers the National Curriculum objective: ’ Understand geographical similarities and differences through the study of human and physical geography of a region of the United Kingdom, a region in a European country,
and a region within North or South America’.
