A Knowledge Organiser that captures the essential knowledge and skills learnt throughout the unit Geography, Year 4, What are rivers and how are they used?
This resource is designed to support pupils as they explore the physical features of rivers, the stages of a river’s course, and their practical and environmental importance. Through clear diagrams and definitions, pupils learn about river features such as source, tributary, meander, delta, and estuary, and how these connect with the water cycle. The organiser also outlines how rivers support human and animal life—providing food, transport, irrigation, and renewable energy—while also serving as habitats and recreational spaces. It is ideal for deepening pupils’ geographical vocabulary and understanding of natural systems.
