Local area: where do we go to school?

This unit builds on explorations of the local area in EYFS, and on 'Local area: Where do we live?' and 'Local area: Where do we go to school?'. It extends work on the school and immediate locality through investigating a specific land use - play areas. It develops basic geographical vocabulary and simple mapwork and fieldwork skills.

Local to global: how can we identify special places?

This unit provides a foundation for 'Local to global: Identifying special places' and subsequent fieldwork investigations in 'Local area: how is our place special?' and a contrasting non-European locality in 'Contrasting locality: What is it like to live in (location) Jamaica/ Tanzania?'.
