Geography KS2 Unit 13 (Year 5) - A contrasting UK locality - Llandudno

This is a 'long' unit in which children study a locality in the UK that contrasts with their own area. This unit is based around a residential fieldtrip to Llandudno because the school that devised it organises a regular school trip there. However, most of the teaching ideas could be applied to any locality. In addition to the specific links indicated in the points to note section, residential fieldwork offers many opportunities for spiritual, moral, social and cultural development. Guidance on how to link the Geography Scheme of Work with other areas of the curriculum can be found in the section about Links with other areas of the curriculum. This particular unit offers links to literacy, mathematics, speaking and listening, environmental education and the world of work.
