Rivers - Unit Assessment

The Year 3 Geography unit assessment on rivers, provided by Focus Education (UK) Ltd, is designed to evaluate the students' knowledge of river systems, both within the UK and globally. The assessment begins by asking students to identify five UK rivers indicated on a map and to understand the reasons why cities are often situated by rivers, choosing the true statements from a given list. The test further challenges the students to name river features and world rivers as shown on separate sheets, testing their ability to recognize and recall key geographical information.

The assessment also includes questions about the longest river in the UK, with multiple-choice options, and requires students to name the four stages of the water cycle, demonstrating their understanding of this fundamental environmental process. In the disciplinary knowledge section, students are tasked with identifying three main towns or cities near the River Severn and determining the closest town to where the River Wye enters the sea, based on a map. This assessment not only tests their factual knowledge but also their ability to apply geographical concepts and interpret visual data.
