Geography, easy to find free primary resources and secondary resources for lessons



For primary kids as well as secondary schools, the lovely people at Countryside Access have put together some cracking ideas for use both in the classroom and when on field trips. They have also matched each part of their work to the key National Curriculum learning goals, and built the whole thing around video resources: they use those aardman creature comfort characters, which are really fun.

Also, if you don’t already know about SchoolZone, you should check it out – they host tonnes of resources that are very valuable – including this one from the Ordnance Survey which gives lesson plans and free maps for use in schools – it’s aimed at 11 year olds.

Finally for today, we want to draw your attention to fonesforschools, we’re pretty concerned with the health of the environment, and this is a great way of getting your kids involved in a project which can help in some way. There is also some key stage specific recycling activities here.

Has anyone out there used any of these resources in the past? How did it work out for you? Please leave a comment below – and please – no flaming.
