Year 3/4 Mixed-Age Geography Scheme

How to use our mixed-age Geography scheme of work.

For schools with mixed age classes, we have adapted the scheme so that the Year 3 and Year 4 blocks can be used on a two-year cycle. In the first year of the cycle, all pupils in Year 3 and 4 will follow the Cycle A blocks of lessons.

In the second year, all pupils in Year 3 and 4 will follow the Cycle B blocks of lessons. This ensures that children do not repeat any of the blocks during KS2.

Our mixed-age Year 3/4 geography scheme covers the requirements of  the national curriculum, ensuring a comprehensive and effective learning experience for mixed-age classes.

The topics explore both local and global geography, helping pupils develop essential map-reading skills, geographical knowledge, and an understanding of human and physical geography. With a focus on progression and differentiation, the scheme provides coverage for mixed-age classes.

The resources include engaging activities, knowledge organisers, and assessments that make it easier for teachers to manage mixed-age classes while boosting pupil engagement and learning outcomes. This scheme covers exciting topics such as European regions, volcanoes, earthquakes, and more, bringing geography to life through hands-on, practical tasks that spark curiosity.
