"Modern methods of studying geography encourages the development of enquiry skills. The lesson explored in this programme offers children an immediate chance to develop these as well as giving them the opportunity to vividly use their imaginations.
Debbie King, a Key Stage 1 teacher at Horwood & Newton Tracey Primary School in north Devon is shown teaching a unit of work for KS1 geography called 'At the Seaside'. It can be taught across one day or over a period of weeks.
Debbie evaluates the unit with David Weatherley, Devon Curriculum Services Geography Advisor and Alison Alldridge, Geography Coordinator at the school.
The lesson features enquiry, imagination, and evaluation of images of the seaside. Geography is then combined with literacy as the children fit words to the pictures and write postcards using geographic vocabulary."

"This programme covers an in-depth example of how to use the local environment to enhance geographic learning at Key Stage 2.
It features the delivery of the Key Stage 2 topic 'Investigating the Local Environment' by Sam Jones of St. Leonard's Primary School in Exeter. The topic can be taught across a day and a half or over a number of weeks.
Sam's approach is to ask his pupils to test the hypothesis that environmental quality is better near the school than by the river. The work includes a field trip to survey local streets and mark them against selected criteria which measure environmental quality.
Geographical understanding is developed through numeracy, as pupils learn to measure distance to scale, draw up a scattergraph and use it to reach a conclusion.
David Weatherly, Devon Curriculum Services Geography Advisor, evalutes the work with Natalie Toulson from St. Michael's Church of England Primary School in Exeter."

"In just over 2 days a Welsh mountain stream travels 354 kilometres, transforming itself into the majestic Severn estuary. En route it has shaped the landscape, powered industry and impacted on the lives of millions of people.
Travelling downstream we explore seven snapshots of the River Severn, meeting the retired farmer who used to farm mountain sheep at the source, an Ordnance Survey field surveyor updating the map to include houses newly built on the riverbank in Newtown, the leader of the Environment Agency Team who designed the innovative portable flood defences at Bewdley and the last commercial barge skipper.
From waterfalls to meanders to the spectacle of the Severn Bore this is an engaging portrait of the upper, middle and lower courses of Britain's longest river and those individuals who are influenced by it."
