Geography Scheme | Year 1/2 | Cycle A | Block 1: Out and About | Lesson 2: How Can I Get From My School to the Local Park?

Year 1/2 mixed-age geography lesson pack – How can I get from my school to the local park?

This Year 1/2 mixed-age geography lesson pack is part of our Glorious Geography scheme. Designed for mixed-age classes, it supports schools teaching Year 1 and Year 2 together while maintaining full national curriculum coverage.

The scheme follows a clear two-year cycle. In Cycle A, all pupils study one set of blocks. In Cycle B, they move on to a different set. This ensures pupils do not repeat the same content across KS1, while still building knowledge and skills over time.

How can I get from my school to the local park? forms part of the mixed-age sequence and supports pupils in developing early mapping and directional skills. It can be taught as part of the full scheme or adapted to suit your own curriculum planning.

Each lesson pack includes:

• An enquiry-based approach with opportunities to develop geographical understanding and fieldwork skills
• Comprehensive lesson plans with vocabulary, misconceptions, cross-curricular links, key questions and assessment opportunities
• Teacher knowledge and guidance to support confident teaching
• Editable PowerPoints that model the learning
• Differentiated worksheets and activities
