Geography Scheme | Year 3/4 | Cycle A | Block 2: From the North Pole to the South Pole | Lesson 4: What is Life Like in Each Biome?
Year 3/4 mixed-age geography lesson pack – What is life like in each biome?
This Year 3/4 mixed-age geography lesson pack is part of our Glorious Geography scheme for KS2. Designed for mixed-age classes, it follows a two-year cycle so pupils build geographical knowledge and skills across Lower KS2 without repeating the same blocks.
In Year A, Year 3 and Year 4 pupils follow the Cycle A blocks. In Year B, they move on to Cycle B. This supports clear progression and helps schools plan a coherent mixed-age geography curriculum.
What is life like in each biome? is the fourth lesson in Cycle A, Block 2: From the North Pole to the South Pole. In this lesson, pupils explore what different biomes are like and consider how climate, plants, animals and living conditions vary across the world. It can be taught as part of the full unit or adapted to suit your own curriculum.
Each lesson pack includes:
- An enquiry-based approach with opportunities to develop geographical and fieldwork skills
- Detailed lesson planning with vocabulary, key questions, misconceptions, prior learning and assessment opportunities
- Teacher guidance and subject knowledge to support confident teaching
- Editable slides that model the learning
- Differentiated worksheets and activities
