Britannica Kids website: Atlas Kids | Britannica Kids

This would be good for kids to use as this is an atlas that they can zoom in and out of and very simple to use. For key stage 1, it allows them to see continents and oceans and what location they are to each other. Further, it allows them to see what countries are in each continent. They could have a blank paper global map to label with continents, oceans and countries.

Links well to KS1 NC (use aerial photographs to recognise landmarks and human and physical features etc.), and KS2 (use digital mapping to locate countries). Appropriate for pupils as it’s very engaging, encourages healthy competition to guess the location. Navigable – can just hone in on countries that pupils are aware of or try to land on capital cities etc. Landing in rural areas of countries – that lack known landmarks – could be quite challenging. Could be used in the collect information section of enquiry as a reference source to look at features or landmarks in the local area or other countries.

I think this website is really engaging and easy to navigate for children. There is lots of use of colour and photos. There are lots of resources about World Geography and specific countries which link well to KS1 aim of understand the world, countries and continents. There is lots of choice here too. This could also be linked to the children being able to identify landmarks from marks and then relate them to the specific country.

There is lots of content about the weather which I think could be linked to KS2 but I think it would be beneficial to focus more on relating this to maps. Although, there is so much great content on this website, when we are reaching KS2 we also need to be showing the children the globe, showing them physical maps and even how to sketch a basic map. Therefore, I think the website could be used as an aid/starting point for more practical, hands on learning.

I think BBC bitesize is a good website resource for children to leant about all aspects of geography including maps. The website allows children to "use world maps, atlases and globes to identify the United Kingdom and its countries, as well as the countries, continents and oceans studied" in both KS1 and 2.

The website has different pages for KS1 and KS2 and the year groups, which lets children see age appropriate content and wording. The site is engaging and easy to navigate and each subsection explains what the topic is (eg maps) in good detail, provides a video for children to visually see how maps are used, provides mini games to see the different icons on maps and what they mean. Children can then go onto the world map page and use their knowledge of maps to navigate around the world.

The site supports an inquiry based approach as it provides an activity for children to create their own maps to deepen their understanding of how they work.

Ben: Thanks for taking us out for a walk, Granny! It's great to be by the seaside again!

Granny: I've drawn us a map, specially for this walk.

Amber: Can I have a look?

Granny: I love drawing maps! Can you see what it shows?

Ben: Yeah! It's like a drawing of where we are. I can see that the green bit is land, the blue bit is the sea and that yellow bit in the middle must be the beach! But what do these little pictures mean?

Granny: They are called symbols. They show clearly the places you might like to visit.

Amber: But why don't you just use words?

Granny: If we used words, the map would look quite messy. Maps use symbols, because they don't take up as much space as words and are easier to follow! So instead of writing the word 'café', I've drawn a teacup symbol!

Amber: I get it. But what do the rest of the symbols mean?

Granny: Do you see that there is a little box in the bottom right corner of the map.

Amber: Yes!

Granny: That's called the key. It tells us what all of the symbols mean. Can you see what they mean?

Amber: That circle with a cross on the top... is a church!

Granny: Well done!

Ben: That letter 'P'... is for car park!

Granny: Spot on!

Amber: And that's the lighthouse, and that's theroad!

Ben: But how can we use the map to find our way?

Granny: Well, you've already found the lighthouse.

Ben: Yes.

Granny: And we're in the car park to the south west of it.

Ben: So we must be here!

Granny: We're going to follow this path that goes between the sandy beach and the golf course. Can you see it?

Ben: There it is and if we follow it, we should get to the café!

Granny: Let's go!

Ben: We must be going in the right direction because the beach is to the east and this golf course, is to the west!

Amber: And look! There's the café!

Granny: Great, let's keep going!

Ben: We made it!

Granny: Well done! I think we deserve a treat, don't you?

Ben and Amber: Yay!

This website allows children to explore a variety of subject areas. They can look for specific areas of geography that might link to their learning in the classroom or they can browse the range of facts and articles on the website to broaden their knowledge and interest. The website has a variety of articles about areas of the world including the 7 continents of the world, which describes their location, climate and people (KS1 and KS2 programme of study). There are articles about the weather and climate around the world (KS1 and KS2 programme of study). There are also resources about the oceans, volcanoes, mountains, nature disasters, major cities around the world etc. All of these topics have links to the NC and there's much more in the website too, what I believe makes it an effective resource for children is that all the information is in bitesize chunks which they can access whenever they want/need to. This is also a great tool for teachers as it has resources that can be used within the classroom.

Mapzone is an easy to navigate website for children; The website features videos, quizzes, games and easy to read factual knowledge. Children in KS1 can use the website to learn the basics of navigating a map and using simple compass directions. KS2 children can use Mapzone to develop their skills further and learn about grid references and map symbols. Mapzone has a ‘Geography’ section which is ideal for collating secondary research to support enquiries; For example, if they are researching rivers they can use the river landscape fact file to collect primary research.

I found that BBC Bitesize was a particularly interesting resource for children to learn about Geography especially maps and mapping. The site offers interactive games to keep children engaged and excited, the way it is laid out helps to ease the overwhelming feeling that children can have when exploring something new. It also allows them to use various resources such as world maps and globes to help them learn how to identify the UK and other countries and continents; they can also study the oceans in a fun way. By making the learning fun through the use of the website we are able to nurture their curiosity and excitement within the topic of geography. This site has clear instructions so it is easy to navigate through the Key Stages easily as there are different pages for both KS1 and KS2. Overall this site is a good resource as it does not involve lots of reading and is instead more interactive allowing children to engage more actively in their own learning. This can also be used as part of their learning within the classroom as some of the activities can be printed and explored during a lesson.

BBC Bitesize- How to read contours, keys, and symbols

BBC Bitesize's map skills resources on reading contours, keys, and symbols provide clear and suitable content for primary students. The step-by-step guides scaffold complex concepts like topographic representation and map interpretation, while not exceeding the National Curriculum's requirements for geography. The information is provided in a wide range of ways, for example pictures, videos, and text. The video also has a transcript option to help with inclusion. These features mean everyone can grasp key concepts such as physical geography and map reading, which are emphasized in KS1 and KS2 learning outcomes, no matter how they learn best. The page even has a test at the end to make sure that the user has fully understood the information provided and showing where more work could be done. However, further reinforcement through hands-on practice is beneficial such as a game or interactive resources.

Google Maps -

Google maps can be helpful for children in KS1 and KS2 to understand maps as it is easy to navigate and easy to understand. As well as this children can start to gain perspective with the distance between places, and the different direction taken to get somewhere. Within google maps you can look at different views, such as street view and Ariel view, as well as just a digitised version of the roads. Google maps also pinpoints key locations, which you may come across, such as, churches, shops, schools and monuments. I think google maps would be an easy to understand introduction to maps, before moving children on to different websites such as ordnance survey and digimaps.

Erin Sparrow - Set 2

The ordinance survey mapzone section is a good resource for children because it is easy to navigate with bright colours. It is designed specifically for children so would be appropriate for use in lessons. There are also a range of quizzes and games that would make the learning more interesting for children. Both the KS1 curriculum and the KS2 curriculum mention the use of compass points and the KS2 curriculum mentions using ordinance survey maps. The fact sections can help the children to research and would support an enquiry.

I found BBC bitesize was extremely accessible for children and easy top navigate around.

There are many links to KS1 and KS2 National Curriculum including further knowledge and information around each topic that is easy to navigate for the children. Exploring the world, explore the UK, Weather and seasons and fieldwork. The website gives clear and signposted headings of each area and also sub-headings.

It can give children the basics, they can then use and further develop their own understanding from here. It is good for enquiry as they are able to do their own research into the topic they are talking about.

Bitesize is an excellent resource website for geography in both Key Stages 1 and 2. It closely supports the National Curriculum, providing engaging and informative content on a variety of geographical topics. The website’s design has made it easy for children to navigate, explore and understand complex topics. Bitesize also supports an inquiry-based approach by offering interactive activities, quizzes, and videos to encourage children to conduct deep critical thinking around the topics. This allows children to actively engage with geographical concepts and develop a deeper understanding of the world around them while having fun and engaging with the subject matter.

World Geography Games is a child friendly website providing games within specific topic areas. It is user friendly for children using bright colourful icons. The games have simple premises (eg locating a specific continent). The drawbacks from this website are that it is not split into key stage areas and therefore would require some input from a teacher to guide which topics they should be considering. In terms of the NC geography link, it helps aid children’s understanding of where specific countries are and can be as broad as understanding continents or as focused as specific cities within an area.

I think digimaps is appropriate for KS1 or KS2, it has resources from Early Years - Secondary School and aligns with the National Curriculum for Geography e.g. use of world maps, aerial images and compass direction.

It is appropriate for pupils as they can locate the continents, oceans, countries and captial cities. You are also able to identify geographical similarities and differences with the United Kingdom and a contrasting area.

The website is easy to navigate from the menu bar with everything you need to know and explained well. There are also lots of resources for teaching.

I think Google Maps is an excellent tool for KS1 and KS2 to use. It gives them the opportunity to interpret information they can see on the map as it is stated in the Geography NC that students must be given the opportunity to use a range of sources of geographical information (including maps).

Google maps is very easy to use and it has many features. It can be used in street view if students want to zoom in on a certain area/street but it also allows students to view areas from a birds eye view (this can be viewed in different settings e.g. satellite view).

This website also shows students different key land marks, for example shops, restaurants and churches. Google maps is also available on a variety of devices, not just PC's so it is easily accessible for everyone. If the students are trying to analyse the landmarks in rural areas vs in the city, Google Maps would be a great too to support their enquiry. Amelia Wilcox PGCE Primary Set 2

Although KS1 children could navigate it, I think the use of language and information may be too difficult. This website is linked with the national curriculum, discussing location knowledge, place knowledge and human and physical Georgraphy. Children could expand their location knowledge by referencing landmarks and could even extend their knowledge to being able to place these on a map. Children can also learn more about different weather issues, perhaps exploring the locations they are most likely to occur. Overall it is a very good, in depth website which could really help further children's knowledge

This website uses games to make learning fun. This is great because it allows children to have fun and friendly competition to learn about countries, flags, capitals and a lot more.

This is because it wants simplicity and navigability options that will be easy to use.

In the fieldwork section on BBC bitesize, they have some wonderful resources and video clips which are interactive, fun, and engaging for children. Additionally, they are very easy for children to navigate around. Furthermore, you can choose KS1 or KS2 or even individual year groups so it’s easy for the children to find or yourself to find and the content should be relevant to that year group.

Things such as how to follow a map, map reading tips and activities such as drawing your own map all link to elements of the National Curriculum for Geography regarding mapping.

I would say BBC bitesize really encourages an enquiry-based approach to learning by allowing the children to interact and create their own maps in the activities section and therefore support and deepen their own understanding of maps.

I think that this website would be an effective resource for children's learning of geography for a host of reasons. Firstly, it's highly appealing to children due to its layout and presentation (colourful, fun etc.). It also includes images of areas and flags throughout to give children a visual representation of information. In terms of its relevance to the National Curriculum, Ducksters gives children the chance to explore every continent, country, and region across the world, while also demonstrating human processes and the diversity of places and people. It also delivers its information in a variety of ways; more challenging paragraphs for older children and simpler bullet point facts for younger children. Furthermore, children would easily be able to discover specific facts for an enquiry with the website's search bar, and most of its icons, when pressed, provide further sub-icons. This allows children to delve deeper into specific areas of geography.

Digimaps succinctly links to the KS1 and KS2 Geography National curricula;  in KS1 it supports the use of world  maps and aerial photographs which contribute to basic geographical knowledge that can be built on as pupil’s progress. The website is also useful to support pupils in Key Stage 2 because it can be used to locate continents, countries, and the oceans that surround them.

The website is highly appropriate for pupil use due to its simple nature. The menu is easy to read and helps pupils navigate the website effectively meaning that time is not wasted getting familiar with the website; students can use the website almost immediately to facilitate their learning. The fact that it is easy to navigate means that there are limited barriers to accessing the resources the website provides.

Digimaps supports an enquiry-based approach as pupils can utilise it to navigate the United Kingdom and non-European areas. This could be useful as a resource to look at the geographical similarities and differences of different areas. Pupils are able to investigate further by comparison in an accessible way which aids them in the development of their own personal geographies whilst developing knowledge about contrasting areas in the world.

Oddizzi is a lesser well-known resource for geography but it has a very unique feature that sets it apart - virtual fieldwork. The virtual journeys are films that provide an immersive and captivating experience where students can see the geographical features they have studied about in real time and each virtual tour is accompanied by a booklet or "GeoJogger" full of supporting information and written in a way that facilitates questioning, enquiry and annotating.

There is also a guided reading section of the site which has fun and accessible articles on different global topics such as on saving the amazon or taking a tour to the rocky mountains. The articles are presented well and they are in the form of a newspaper, "The Oddizzi Times" which is exciting for the pupils to read.

The site covers a wide range of the NC with the guided reading and virtual tours features and also has a daily challenge section which includes interactive games/competitions such as "map Mondays" which teaches mapping skills and "topic Tuesdays" which cover different geography topics with an enquiry-based approach. The interactive map on the page is easy and interesting for the pupils to use and lets them choose their own geographical features to look at, including: physical/human features, weather and climate.
