Topic 2 - Firedamp and Davy Lamps

Descend into the depths of Britain’s coal mines and discover how coal miners brought the precious coal up to the surface that was needed to power industry. How did it feel to work in a coal mine? How has the coal mining industry changed over the years and does it have a future? We’ll find out about the many dangers of mining and why health and safety laws are important in the world today, and we’ll use geological maps to identify coal seams in the UK. We’ll also learn about the importance of coal during the Industrial Revolution and the miners’ strikes.

Topic 1 - Investigating Our World

In this geography-led project, children will learn about locating map features using a range of methods. They will learn about the Prime Meridian, Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), and worldwide time zones and study interconnected climate zones, vegetation belts and biomes. Children learn about human geography and capital cities worldwide before looking at the UK motorway network and settlements.
