SuperSchemes: Barnaby Bear Investigates the UK

The SuperSchemes series provides primary teachers with the means to develop geography units of work with confidence. Each book starts with:

• advice and guidance on how to approach the topic
• an explanation of the geography rooted in the unit
• background information to get you started.

The whole suggested unit is laid out in the medium term plan, which is followed by detailed and resourced lesson plans for two lessons. Further ideas for developing the remaining four lessons in the unit complete the book and provide you with a springboard to take your geography teaching further. This unit aims to help pupils to learn and understand more about the United Kingdom and develop a variety of geographical skills through fieldwork, mapping and recording the weather.

Pupils will learn about the location of the UK in the world, the UK’s countries and capital cities, seasons, weather and key human and physical features of urban, rural and coastal locations.
