This Geography topic will equip pupils with locational and place knowledge, an understanding of both human and physical geography and opportunities to practise geographical skills. Using maps, they will locate key countries within the continent of Asia and place it within a wider geographical context. Continuing to build on their knowledge of the world, the children will study the region of Asia, comparing farming both near and far. This will include physical aspects such as seasonal change identifying weather patterns throughout Autumn. Geographical skills covered will include use of a variety of mapping techniques through looking at aerial photographs to recognise landmarks and basic human and physical features. Children will devise simple maps; navigating around the map using a key to aid: North, South, East and West.
