Week 6: What Can we do to Protect this Place?

Year 5/6 mixed-age geography lesson pack – What can we do to protect the Lake District?

This Year 5/6 mixed-age geography lesson pack is part of our Glorious Geography scheme, designed for mixed-age Upper KS2 classes working across a two-year cycle. It ensures full curriculum coverage without repetition across Year 5 and Year 6.

Across Cycle A and Cycle B, pupils explore contrasting regions and develop a secure understanding of how physical and human geography are connected.

What can we do to protect the Lake District? is the final lesson in Cycle B, Block 2: Exploring the Lake District. In this lesson, pupils draw on their knowledge of the region’s physical features, land use and human activity to consider how it can be protected for the future. They explore issues such as tourism, conservation and environmental impact, and begin to evaluate different viewpoints.

This lesson supports pupils in thinking critically about sustainability and their role in protecting important environments.

Each lesson pack includes:

• An enquiry-led approach that develops geographical understanding
• Detailed lesson plans with vocabulary, misconceptions and assessment opportunities
• Clear teacher guidance and secure subject knowledge
• Editable slides that model the learning
• Differentiated worksheets and activities to support all pupils
