Locate scafell Pike - Worksheet - Year 3

In a worksheet tailored for Year 3 students, the task is to locate Scafell Pike, England's highest mountain, on a map. The activity encourages the use of additional maps to assist in identifying the exact position of Scafell Pike. Once located, the students are prompted to research and record the height of Scafell Pike, fostering their geographical knowledge and research skills. Furthermore, the worksheet invites curiosity about the number of people who take on the challenge of climbing to the summit annually, providing a real-world context to the significance of this peak.

Complementing the map work, the worksheet also stimulates discussion about the Lake District's uniqueness within the UK. Students are asked to consider and articulate why the Lake District stands out as a unique location and environment. This part of the activity aims to enhance the children's understanding of the natural beauty and ecological importance of the region, as well as its cultural and recreational value. The exploration of these questions helps to develop a deeper appreciation for one of the UK's most cherished national parks and its most iconic mountain, Scafell Pike.
