Year 3/4 Cycle B Block 2

Topic – On Top of the World (Mountains and Rivers)

How to use our mixed-age Geography scheme of work.

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.
