1B: Let's Investigate our Place - Step for Learning 1 (years 1 and 2)
This Step for Learning was produced in collaboration with the Geographical Association.
It introduces children to investigating their place. They will learn to ask key questions, to make observations, create an annotated field sketch and consider others' viewpoint. Children will learn how things will change over time and to develop their place knowledge. They will develop their skills in first hand observation and their basic geographical vocabulary.
The PDF provides notes for the teachers. It contains keywords, an index for the accompanying PowerPoint presentation and worksheets.
