Introduction

Lost and found: Why can’t penguins live near the equator?

• This unit is part of the ‘Focus History/ Focus Geography’ resource which has been
produced to support better quality writing in history and geography.

• It should be used to cover the Key Stage 1 unit from the geography national curriculum:
identify seasonal and daily weather patterns in the United Kingdom and the location of
hot and cold areas of the world in relation to the Equator and the North and South Poles

• Used as set out, it provides you with activities and resources that supports the coverage
of English and geography for half a term.

• One of the aims is to create curriculum cohesion, enabling learners to link their learning
appropriately.

• The activities aim to maximise pupils’ thinking and reasoning, putting greater emphasis
on learners’ own questioning.

• The units can be followed as set out in this scheme or can be modified, as required.

• The important issue is that the unit currently ensures coverage within the national
curriculum’s geography programme of study. Any modification to the geography should
ensure that national curriculum coverage is still guaranteed.
