SuperSchemes: Barnaby Bear Investigates the World

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 widen their knowledge and understanding of the world and develop their geographical skills through the use of maps, atlases and globes. Pupils will learn about the continents and oceans, the hot and cold areas of the world and the differences between human and physical features, locate the poles and Equator and begin to understand global connections.
