Going to the seaside
http://www.standards.dfee.gov.uk/schemes/geography/geo4?version=1
This is a 'medium' unit. The theme of the seaside is set mainly in a geographical context but uses a historical perspective to help children understand how seaside places have evolved over time. The activities at the end of the unit have a more global emphasis which will be particularly suitable for more able children. The seaside is also the theme of Unit 3 'An island home' in the history scheme of work. Schools may wish to use them in combination. Guidance on how to link the Geography Scheme of Work with other areas of the curriculum can be found in the section about Links with other areas of the curriculum. This particular unit offers links with literacy, speaking and listening, history and IT.
