Through fieldwork, the plants and animals found in two contrasting local environments, e.g. identification, nutrition, life cycles, place in environment. KS2.

Learners should be given the opportunity to develop their skills of geographical enquiry through fieldwork. They are expected to undertake two fieldwork enquiries, each in a contrasting environment:

Individual investigation.

Use units of measure; length, height and distance.
Sort and classify objects using more than one criterion.
Make lists and tables based on data collection,
Select appropriate equipment. Take temperature readings using thermometers including temperature differences.
Compare daily temperatures using a thermometer,
Record data,
Create block graphs, bar graphs and line graphs,
Developing numerical reasoning,
Use the four compass points to describe directions.
Represent data using; lists, tally charts, tables, diagrams, frequency tables.
Use coordinates to specify location,
Use mean, median, mode and range to describe data.

To encourage outdoor learning.

KS2 Design and Technology
Use a range of materials and components,
making choices based on their developing
knowledge of how they should be used, e.g.
using square-section timber or lollypop sticks
to strengthen a cardboard structure

Pupils identify differences between ways of life at different times.
Daily life of people living in the time of the Iron Age Celts.
What was life like for rich and poor people, for men, women and children, e.g. houses, food and farming, transport, education, clothes, celebrations, pastimes?
