For schools with mixed age classes, we have adapted the scheme so that the Year 5 and Year 6 blocks can be used on a two-year cycle. In the first year of the cycle, all pupils in Year 5 and 6 will follow the Cycle A blocks of lessons.
In the second year, all pupils in Year 5 and 6 will follow the Cycle B blocks of lessons. This ensures that children do not repeat any of the blocks during KS2.

Take your mixed-age year 5/6 pupils on an engaging geographical journey through the stunning landscapes of the Lake District with our carefully designed scheme of work. Aligned with the National Curriculum, this unit builds geographical knowledge while developing essential skills in map reading, fieldwork techniques, and understanding key physical and human features. Designed for mixed-age classes, it ensures clear progression, enabling pupils to build on prior learning while preparing them for the next stage of their geographical studies.
With a strong focus on skill development, this unit guides pupils through interpreting maps, analysing geographical data, and exploring how physical processes shape the landscape. They will investigate key questions such as: What makes the Lake District unique? How have human activities influenced the region? Why is it a protected National Park? Each lesson encourages critical thinking, discussion, and enquiry-based learning to deepen pupils’ understanding of the world around them.
