Lesson 3: Let’s Explore the 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 specifically for mixed-age classes, it supports schools teaching Year 1 and Year 2 together while maintaining full national curriculum coverage.

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

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? forms part of the mixed-age sequence. The blocks are designed to be taught in order but can be adapted to suit your own school curriculum.

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 prior learning to support confident teaching
• Editable PowerPoints that model the learning
• Differentiated worksheets and activities
