Autumn
Oldham Owls
In year 2, our Geography work will focus on comparing rural and urban areas of Oldham, our nearest town. We will compare the human and physical features of Oldham Town Centre and Castleshaw/Diggle and identify similarities and differences. We will learn how to read maps in further detail, using directional language and building on our understanding of simple compass points.
We use our knowledge of directions to plan or own journey. We will learn how to use maps, atlases and globes to identify and locate the world’s seven continents and oceans. Some of this learning will take place in ‘stand-alone’ lessons, in order to meet the needs of the National Curriculum. Our topic thread through and link with other lessons e.g. writing.
