The must-have Atlas for Year 6 Fully revised and updated, this is an ideal world reference atlas for young primary school geographers aged 8-11 years (Key Stage 2). Published in association with the Geographical Association, it enables children to learn about the world today and understand how maps and atlases work. The atlas is organised into sections covering the UK, Europe, the world and continents with more detailed larger scale maps of countries and regions popular for focus studies. It includes topics such as climate, population, migration, trade and environmental issues. Topographical based mapping helps the young geographer understand the processes which take place during the formation of the earth’s landscapes. The reference mapping is designed for maximum clarity and accessibility, and is supported by photographs and data boxes, with detailed map keys and scale information on each map. Specially selected topic maps give additional information linking to knowledge and understanding of distant places. Tables of key world country data include an Ecological Footprint figure for each country. Fully-updated in line with proposed curriculum changes.

Collins Primary Geography is a complete programme to equip learners with the knowledge and skills to think geographically and gain a deeper understanding of the world around them. The resources cover a balanced range of topics within physical and human geography, and cover the National Curriculum in England’s programme of study for primary schools. The Pupil Book provides learners with knowledge about the world at a local and global scale. It introduces subject-specific vocabulary and geographical skills, with discussion and investigation activities to increase locational awareness and engagement. The Key Stage 2 books use an extensive range of evidence to stimulate children’s interest and develop geographical skills, including photographs, maps, satellite images, charts, diagrams and case studies from around the world. Pupil Book 3 encourages learners to conduct their own research and enquiries. Case studies focus on Scotland, France, Chile, the Galapagos Islands and India.
