IWB pages to work through to explain the difference between physical and human features of an environment. The last page has lots of different features hiding the words physical or human behind them depending on what they are, as a plenary to the lesson children can come up and say what type they think it s and why, then move the picture to reveal the correct answer.

two more sheets to go with previous ones for this topic. Cut and stick sheet with pictures of physical and human features for children to sort plus drawing od Katie Morag's Island where children are instructed to colour physical features green and human features red. Good differentiation allowing children to choose how they show you what they know.

Wordsearch currently containing HFWs to extend and support learning in spellings lessons. Children are given their new spellings, practice them in their best handwriting, then find them in the wordsearch. Finally they have to use each word in a sentence to show they understand the meaning.

worksheets and activities, with planning to link to Katie Morag topic, differentiateed activities for children to show their understanding of physical and human features of a landscape. Children choose which activity they would like to do - colour coding a drawing of Katie's Island, cutting and sticking different picutres of features into the correct column on a table, or using a sheet of useful words to write their own sentences to explain the difference between the two types of feature. Two other activity sheets are on here to use with this lesson as well, under physical / human
