These child-led geography clips compare UK locations to contrasting, non-European, locations and regions.
The clips are suitable for KS1 and KS2 in England and Wales, Early and 1st and 2nd level in Scotland and Foundation and KS1 in Northern Ireland. The location comparisons are ideal for Key Stage 1, which demands comparison of a UK location with a non-European location. The thematic content - which includes cities, climate, coasts, rivers, islands, capitals, etc - also supports geography study at Key Stage 2.
