KS2- locational knowledge- Race across the continents!

# data[].attributes.body
Aids KS2 to learn and remember the continents and countries. The game tests the knowledge of human and physical features and allows for checking answers. For some questions it gives pictures relating to the question. This allows the children to further identify the question and relate picture to words. It does not allow to retake the same question straight after. The game clearly states at the bottom the number of questions left and how many you have answered. This is good because it has an end goal for the child playing. It shows the progress in the way of a competition, the child getting through before the computer bot team. there is only too answers to choose from. This is not over complicated and gives a 50/50 chance of getting right. This might mean if the answer was a guess they may remember the other answer. At the end it tells you how many answered correctly. However, it does not let you repeat the ones you got wrong. The website is clear and easy to use for KS2. There is clear progression from the first try to the next. Stating Bronze, silver and gold. The buttons are clear and big to know what to click. This is too advance knowledge for KS1 and lower KS2 may struggle. The challenge increases in the higher levels with hearts to depict amount of lives. This is good for hands on learning, with bright colourful pictures and clear answers too the questions. Some children with learning difficulties may find this more complicated because there is a lot going on. Picture behind questions and lots of other things to look at. This might lead to easy distractions. Although still worth a try for all, as they may just need extra support to read questions but still enjoy the activity and learn.

BBC Bitesize- settlements and trade links 

# data[].attributes.body
The site shows the characteristics of the types of settlements and defines what trade is through cartoon videos and images. It also shows examples in order of size and how some settlements make have a function.

The site focuses on the key concept of place; it can allow children to relate and make sense of both in real life.

Appropriate for support or an introduction to defining what both things are, could be used in an opening lesson for a new unit of work. More aimed towards KS2 as it has quizzes at the end of both pages.

Could be used to support enquiry on settlements around the children, makes it more relatable to them.

Settlements are places where people live and sometimes work. There are many different types of settlement. Find out more with Bitesize KS2 Geography.
