Planning and assessment Read more: http://www.geography.org.uk/news/2014nationalcurriculum/assessment/ Short, medium and long-term planning and assessment depends upon teachers having a very clear notion of expectations within their minds, and a clear vision of what we you trying to achieve. These are the big objectives of geography teaching. There are three aspects of pupils achievements in geography: contextual world knowledge of locations, places and geographical features understanding of the conditions, processes and interactions that explain features and distributions, patterns and changes over time and space competence in geographical enquiry through the application of skills in observing, collecting, analysing, mapping and communicating geographical information. https://geognc.wordpress.com/

The teacher has found a big letter on their chair. It is a strange letter, smudged with dirt with twigs inside. The writing is big and scratchy. Do they children know anything about it? The letter is from someone/thing called Barney: a very old tree in a forest and she needs our help because the council is planning to chop her down. Ask children what they think? How do they feel about this situation? There is a picture of Barney with the letter. Ask talking partner to discuss what they know about trees. Why they are cut down? What things are made from trees? Children list things that come from trees. A child/TA finds a second envelope, filled with smaller letters. Each letter is from a creature or person that uses the tree saying why they cant lose Barney. Understanding the world: immediate area
