Geography in KS2

In KS2, children develop and secure the key geographical fieldwork, observational and measurement skills they began to develop in KS1.  Children measure and record a range of data, such as temperature, and use this data to draw conclusions. The children also learn more about the human and physical geography of other parts of the world and make comparisons with the UK.
 
Having learned about extreme weather phenomena around the world, the children wrote about the experiences people in the effected areas would have had.
 
 
During the rocks and soils topic in LKS2, the children learned in the geography lessons about the formation of extrusive igneous rock as a result of volcanic activity. The children made volcanoes and experienced their own volcanic eruption!
 
 
The children often use their computing lessons to demonstrate their geographical subject knowledge. These children, as part of their Tribal Trouble topic, have made PowerPoints about the animals of the Grand Canyon.
 
Children used their measurement recording skills from the geography progression framework to compare the climate of the hottest and coldest inhabited places on Earth.
 
 
During the second national school closure, children in UKS2 learned about the physical and human geography of South America. A range of different activities were planned to allow the children to remain engaged with the topic. Here, in three different lessons, children have made flip books of the different layers of the rainforest, a paper mountain with facts about the Andes and an information poster about Brazil.
