Explore the world of geography through our engaging mixed-age Year 3/4 resources, focused on the exciting theme of *What’s the Score?* This unit takes pupils on a geographical journey across the UK, incorporating elements of travel, sport, and exploration. Over six weeks, pupils will deepen their understanding of the UK’s counties, cities, and the people who live there, while building key geographical skills.

In Week 1, pupils will embark on a journey, learning how a cricketer might travel to the UK, setting the stage for discussions around transport and global connections. Week 2 focuses on the locations of cricket grounds across the UK, helping pupils locate key cities and landmarks. In Week 3, pupils will explore what it’s like in those cities, learning to identify physical and human features. Week 4 introduces the concept of counties, clarifying the difference between countries and counties within the UK.

By Week 5, pupils will examine various transport methods, considering how people can travel around the UK, which leads into Week 6, where they will focus on locating sports facilities. Pupils will use maps and keys to identify where sporting activities take place in their local area and beyond.

By the end of the unit, pupils will confidently name and locate the UK’s countries and main cities, understand the geographical features of different areas, and be able to plan routes both within the UK and from other countries. This unit encourages the development of map skills and spatial awareness, while also helping pupils make connections between geography and real-world topics like sport and travel.
