Curriculum Map for Year Groups - Focus Geography

The Focus Geography Curriculum Map outlines a structured plan to guide students through various geographical topics across different year groups. In Year 1, pupils explore contrasting climates with 'Hot and Cold', familiarise themselves with 'My Local Area', and learn about 'Recycling'. As they progress to Year 2, they study 'Airports and Train Stations', investigate a 'Non-European Contrast' to understand global diversity, and conduct a 'Seaside Study' to appreciate coastal environments.

Moving on to Year 3, students delve into the iconic 'London', study the natural phenomenon of 'Rivers', and discuss 'Energy'. They also explore the 'Features of the UK' and the scenic 'Lake District'. Year 4's curriculum includes an exploration of 'Biomes', a detailed look at 'Europe', and the study of 'Mountains'. In Year 5, the focus shifts towards global issues and geography with 'Fairtrade', the 'Rainforests', and 'South America', along with a local study of 'Blackpool'. Finally, Year 6 students engage with 'Mapping' and 'North America', contemplate 'Climate Change', and examine 'Immigration to Britain', integrating geographical skills with contemporary issues and historical migration patterns.
