Misty Mountain Sierra

Project overview

Use our pre-planned Year 4 geography project, Misty Mountain Sierra, to teach children about the human and physical features of mountain environments. This project develops children’s knowledge of mountain formation, settlement, climate zones and the water cycle.

It is built upon our four-stage primary focused pedagogyEngage, Develop, Innovate, Express – to get your children curious about the project ahead, develop and then use new skills and knowledge, before finally allowing them to express their thoughts, ideas and reflections on what they have learnt.

*This project is part of the Cornerstones Geography Curriculum and is not sold separately.
