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 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 upper KS2.

Geography Scheme | Year 5/6 | Cycle A: Block 3: Where Does Energy Come From? | Lesson 5: What are Minerals? is the fifth lesson in cycle A block 3 for Year 5/6 and focuses on renewable and non-renewable energy resources, food, water, minerals and how electricity is generated and the problems of increasing human demand for the Earth’s resources.

The blocks are designed to be taught in order, but can be re-ordered according to your own school curriculum.

Each lesson pack has:

🌍 An enquiry based approach + fieldwork skills

🌍 Comprehensive lesson plans complete with vocabulary, misconceptions, cross-curricular links, key questions and assessment opportunities, teacher knowledge and prior learning.

🌍 Continuous provision guidance and ideas

🌍 Editable PowerPoints that model the learning
