The Two Cities website from the BBC is a useful tool for parents to engage with children studying Key Stage 2 geography.
The site encourages children to explore, compare and contrast Belfast and Mexico through the eyes of children living in these cities. The activity helps children to practise elements of the geography curriculum that focus on place, location and maps.
Top tips:
1. Read the parents’ notes to understand how best to use the site with your child.
2. Work through the different areas, listen to the audio clips and discuss it all together.
3. Help your child complete some of the suggested home activities.
