A 7-slide tour of the world that starts wide (planet, continents, oceans) and zooms in (Europe, the UK, your hometown). Each slide has a memorable picture and one big idea, plus a “small fact” that gives an anchor.
Slide 6 introduces the geographical vocabulary children need at KS1 — beach, cliff, river, mountain, town, port, harbour — so they can describe places in the right words.
A ten-question quiz testing the core KS1 geography locational knowledge. Mixes “name the place” recall with “spot the answer” reasoning across continents, oceans, UK countries and capital cities, plus a few questions on the basic geographical vocabulary.
Best taken after the e-learning lesson and worksheet.
World Explorer: 5-Page Atlas Book is a five-page KS1 geography activity book mapped to the DfE National Curriculum for Years 1 and 2. Children name and locate the world’s seven continents and five oceans, use simple world maps and map keys, practise compass directions (North, South, East, West), and sort human and physical features. The final page is a reflective “my place in the world” task where children map their own country, continent and nearest ocean. Most questions are auto-marked on screen, or the whole book can be printed with a full answer key. Includes teacher, parent and pupil notes and is fully SEND-friendly with high-contrast and large-text modes.
A short guide for parents and carers. KS1 geography is much easier to support at home than people realise — most of it lives in moments you’re already having (planning trips, looking at maps on phones, talking about the weather, noticing where food comes from).
Four ideas. None take more than a couple of minutes. All you need is some curiosity about where things are.
A planning companion for the locational-knowledge unit of KS1 geography. Maps every resource to its NC requirement, flags the geographical questions children consistently get wrong (Scotland’s capital, the 7 vs 6 continents debate, the Southern Ocean), gives the full KS1 geography vocabulary list, and lays out a 6-lesson scheme.
Particularly useful is the note on the place-knowledge strand: this pack covers locational knowledge well but does NOT cover the place-knowledge requirement (comparing a UK area with a contrasting non-European country) — that needs its own follow-on unit.
