Our Year 4 geography resources help pupils investigate how physical processes and human activity shape the world around them. Through enquiry-led lessons, pupils explore natural disasters, rivers, mountains, settlements and land use while developing deeper understanding of geographical change and interaction.
The scheme encourages pupils to think critically about places and environments through map work, fieldwork and geographical discussion. Lessons build confidence using atlases, four-figure grid references, diagrams and geographical vocabulary while helping pupils make connections between physical and human geography.
Recognised as Highly Commended by the Geographical Association, our KS2 geography scheme of work supports progression in geographical knowledge, enquiry and fieldwork from Lower KS2 into Upper KS2.
