This unit provides a foundation for moving on to 'Around the world in 80 days: What have we learned in primary geography?'.

This unit builds directly on 'Natural resources: What are they, where are they and why are they important?', extending and deepening pupils’ understanding of global interconnectedness by investigating how their everyday lives are linked to distant people and places through trade, technology and culture.

This unit explores global trade and how goods are produced, transported and consumed around the world. Pupils investigate imports, exports, supply chains and the role of ethical trading in shaping how we access everyday items.
