This Geography settlements poster year 5 core is perfectly aligned with the UK National Curriculum, which requires pupils to understand land use, economic activity, and the distribution of natural resources.

The resource includes a handy set of five to seven differentiated questions printed on the back.

Whether you are using this as a central piece for a wall display or as a focused activity sheet during a geography lesson, it provides the perfect balance of information and challenge for learners working at the expected standard.
We have ensured that all terminology is age-appropriate and supports the development of technical vocabulary, such as ‘infrastructure’, ‘amenities’, and ‘population density’.
