Year 5/6 Cycle B Geography Block 1

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 5 and Year 6 blocks can be used on a two-year cycle.

In the first year of the cycle, all pupils in Year 5 and 6 will follow the Cycle A blocks of lessons.

In the second year, all pupils in Year 5 and 6 will follow the Cycle B blocks of lessons. This ensures that children do not repeat any of the blocks during KS2.
