Knowledge organiser: Geography – Y6 Why does population change?
A Knowledge Organiser that captures the essential knowledge and skills learnt throughout the unit Geography, Year 6, Why does population change?
This resource is designed to support pupils as they explore the complex factors that influence population dynamics across the globe. It introduces vocabulary such as population, migration, birth rate, death rate, and refugee, while clarifying key concepts like population distribution, densely populated, and sparsely populated through visuals including a global map and pie chart on page 1. Page 2 provides structured comparisons of push and pull factors—highlighting economic, social, and environmental influences—as well as reasons for population growth and decline, including healthcare, conflict, job availability, and access to resources. The unit equips pupils with the knowledge to interpret global patterns and understand how migration and demographic change shape societies.

Transitioning to Kapow Primary Music
Planning for each year group to support staff and pupils to smoothly transition to our Music scheme of work in schools where music has previously not been taught consistently, or you have concerns about pupils’ ability to access the Kapow curriculum due to a lack of prior knowledge and understanding. All year groups have two catch up units (except for year two, which has one unit) to build a solid foundation of essential knowledge and skills before proceeding to our intended units and lessons for the year group.
Each of the catch-up units consists of selected lessons taken from a range of units in the previous year groups. This will support both staff and pupils in feeling confident and comfortable when approaching more advanced lessons.
