This Geography scheme of work video introduces pupils to the countries and capital cities of the United Kingdom and explores some of the UK’s most famous landmarks and natural features;  it encourages pupils to develop locational knowledge while building curiosity about the wider UK.

Pupils learn that the UK is made up of four countries: England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Each country is introduced with key facts, capital cities and well-known locations. The video ends by asking pupils to reflect: With so many amazing places to explore, where would you like to visit in the UK? This video is ideal for building a strong geographical foundation and fostering a sense of national identity and curiosity.
