Year 5/6 mixed-age geography lesson pack – What is it like to live in Las Vegas?

This Year 5/6 mixed-age geography lesson pack is part of our Glorious Geography scheme for KS2. It uses the same carefully sequenced lessons as the single-age version, organised into a two-year cycle for mixed-age classes.

In Cycle A, Year 5 and Year 6 pupils follow one set of blocks. In Cycle B, they move on to a different set, ensuring full National Curriculum coverage across Upper KS2 without repeating content.

What is it like to live in Las Vegas? is the fifth lesson in Cycle A, Block 1: Viva Las Vegas. It continues the North America unit, helping pupils explore human geography and consider what daily life is like in a contrasting location. The lesson can be taught as part of the full sequence 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
