Geography (4)

Description

OUR SURROUNDINGS – HOME, SCHOOL, VILLAGE – DRAWING MAPS – READING SITE PLANS

GEOGRAPHY – 37 pages: Three weeks of detailed lesson plans with mentoring comments are illustrated with samples of the children’s compositions and bookwork, and include a seasonal cookery session, excursions to the village, a first architectural drawing from observation, the first use of a fountain pen, the first proper homework, and a letter of information to the parents.

The free supplement of poems and songs is an editable template which includes sheet music, footnotes and attributions. Customise it for your cultural setting, or use it to teach English as a foreign language.

The block begins with the introduction of the fountain pen and its care, and a beautiful poem sets the tone for exploring the world around us with a more conscious study of the familiar environment. Detailed and editable lesson plans show that in drawing basic maps and reading site plans, we are made aware that everything has its history. This imaginative approach appeals to all levels of ability, echoes historic beginnings of geography with pictorial maps, and prepares the ground in an age-appropriate way for geography proper in the coming years. It also lends itself to a meaningful first piece of “real” homework to consolidate what was learnt.
