For schools with mixed age classes, we have adapted the scheme so that the Year 3 and Year 4 blocks can be used on a two-year cycle. In the first year of the cycle, all pupils in Year 3 and 4 will follow the Cycle A blocks of lessons.
In the second year, all pupils in Year 3 and 4 will follow the Cycle B blocks of lessons. This ensures that children do not repeat any of the blocks during KS2.

This mixed-age Year 3/4 geography unit invites pupils to delve into the wonders of mountains and rivers. From understanding how mountains are formed to tracing the journey of a river from source to mouth, this unit is packed with engaging activities, stunning visuals, and hands-on learning opportunities. Pupils will explore key geographical features, processes, and terminology while developing essential map skills and a deeper appreciation of the natural world. Fully aligned with the KS2 national curriculum, this unit is perfect for sparking curiosity and building knowledge in a mixed-age classroom.
