These show topographical features and they are primarily maps of the landscape. OS Maps: Today’s lesson will be looking specifically at OS maps (Ordnance Survey maps). Clarify that maps are all 2D representations of a 3D or real world. Then introduce the subject of maps: Ask pupils what types of map there are (street map, road map, tube map etc.). Main ActivityĪsk pupils whether they can name the longest rivers in the UK. Remaining questions can be tailored to suit your own class. In 2007 which two rivers were responsible for the flooding of Tewkesbury? Is the water deeper or more shallow on the inside or outside of a meander? In which part of the river is the source found?ĭoes the water flow faster on the inside or outside of a meander? The winner is the pupil who answers the most questions, therefore travels the furthest. If Pupil B answers first, they get the chance to travel ‘Around the World’ while Pupil A takes their vacated seat. If Pupil A answers first, they can continue to travel ‘Around the World’, standing behind the next seated pupil, ready for another question. Pupil A stands behind Pupil B who is seated. The questions should focus on the learning from the previous three lessons. By answering questions they get to travel ‘Around the World’, which in the context of the game means around the classroom. The object of the game is for a pupil to correctly answer a question posed by the teacher before one of their classmates. Pupils take part in an ‘Around the World’ challenge.
