Hi, Mrs. Lomas here.

I am a primary school teacher whose favourite subject is geography.

So I'm super, super excited to be joining you for your geography lesson today.

So, let's find out what we're going to do.

In today's lesson, we're going to be looking at moving within the UK as part of our, "The UK: who are we?" Unit.

By the end of today's lesson, you will be able to explain why people move within the UK and understand how we can plot movement on a map.

We have some key words today, belonging, economic, and quality of life.

Let's try my turn, your turn.

Ready? Yeah.

Belonging.

Economic.

Quality of life.

Well done.

Let's have a look at what they mean.

Belonging is the feeling that you fit in in the group, or place you are in.

Economic means things to do with the way money is made or spent, and someone's quality of life is a measure of how happy, healthy, and comfortable they are.

So look out for those words in today's lesson.

In today's moving within the UK lesson, we have two parts.

Why do people move within the UK and how can we map movement within the UK? So let's get started with, why do people move within the UK? There are many reasons why people might move within the UK to live in a new home.

Why do you think people may want to move home? Pause the video, have a class discussion and come back when you're ready.

How did you get on? June says, "People move to go to university.

"People move for a new job.

"People move when their family grows too big "for their house, or flat".

"People move to be closer to family "and people move when they finish work and retire".

Have you ever moved for one of these reasons? Pause the video, have a class discussion and come back when you're ready.

Well done.

People may move to another place for a new job.

This is an economic reason to move.

Time for a quick check.

True or false? An economic reason to move home, is to be closer to the seaside for the views.

Once you've decided if this is true or false, I want you to justify your answer with either A, economic reasons to move, or to do with money.

Or B, economic reasons to move are to do with being close to family.

Pause the video, have a go and come back when you're ready to check your answers.

How did you get on? If you said that it was false, because A economic reasons to move are to do with money, you'd be correct.

Well done.

Some people move to have a better quality of life.

We moved house so that my sister and I could get places in a school together.

We moved to a bigger house where I can access the garden.

We moved to a house near the countryside, so that we could go for walks every day in the fresh air.

Have you ever moved house for a better quality of life? Pause the video, have a class discussion, and then come back when you're ready.

Time for a quick check.

Which of these pictures show a feature that would improve your quality of life? A, B, or C? So one more time.

Which of these pictures show a feature that would improve your quality of life? A, B, or C? Pause the video, collect your answers and come back when you're ready to check.

How did you get on? If you said that it was A, you'd be correct.

People usually prefer living next to open spaces and countryside, rather than industrial buildings, or busy motorways.

These don't look nice and can be noisy, or affect people's health.

People hope for a sense of belonging to the place that they live.

When people don't feel that they belong in a place, it might make them want to move.

What makes you feel like you belong in the place that you live? Pause the video, have a class discussion and come back when you're ready.

How did you get on? Andeep said, "I feel that I belong where I live, "as it is where all my family and friends are.

Did you say similar things? Or maybe you had very different answers to Andeep.

Time for a quick check.

True, or false? Feeling like you belong where you live will make you want to move.

Once you've decided if this is true or false, I want you to justify your answer using either A, belonging is the feeling that you fit in in the group or place you are in.

Or B, belonging is the feeling you don't fit in with the group, or place you are in.

Have a go.

Pause the video and when you're ready to check your answers come back.

How did you get on? If you said that it was false, because A, belonging is the feeling that you fit in in the group, or place you are in, you would be correct.

Well done.

Right, it's time for task A.

What are some of the features that people might want to live near to, or move closer to, in order to improve their quality of life? Add examples from your own local area if you can.

Pause the video, have a go.

And when you're ready, come back and we'll have a look at a list that I've got ready.

How did you get on? So here's my list.

A good school for children to attend.

An open space, for example, woodland, park, or river, to walk the dog and get some fresh air.

A good range of services including a doctor's surgery and a dentist.

A quiet location away from busy roads and industries, and a friendly local community and a sense of belonging.

Your list might look very different to mine.

You might prefer to live in a big, busy bustling city, or you might rather live much further out in the countryside.

However, if you've seen something on my list, you think, oh yes, I want to add that to my own list, then now's your chance to pause the video and make any changes to your lists.

So, we've looked at why do people move within the UK? Now let's have a look at how can we map movement within the UK? We are going to research someone's moves to different places in the UK during their life, and present their story on a map.

We will need the following information.

Where the people have lived and the reasons why they have moved? Adding the year for each move, would add an extra level of detail to our research as well.

If the people we're asking can remember the years that they moved.

Let us introduce you to Alan.

Alan was born in Sheffield, South Yorkshire.

He liked having all the shops and entertainment in the city, as well as being close to the Peak District National Park for countryside, to give him a good quality of life.

Let's have a quick check.

What did Alan like about Sheffield? A, it was close to the sea? B, it had shops and entertainment, or C the factories? Pause the video, have a go and come back to check your answer.

How did you get on? If you said that it was B, it had shops and entertainment, you'd be correct.

Well done.

When Alan left school, he went to Exeter University.

He lived there for four years, while he trained to be a primary school teacher.

He liked living near the river and walking in Dartmoor National Park.

So, let's do a quick check, shall we? Why did Alan move to Exeter? A for a job? B, to train to become a teacher, or C for the shops and entertainment? Pause the video, have a go.

Come back when you're ready to check.

How did you get on? If you said that Alan moved to Exeter because B, it was to train to become a teacher, you'd be correct.

Well done.

Alan's first teaching job was in Liverpool.

He moved there and worked for 10 years before he met his future wife Sally.

He liked the culture and history of the city, the links with the music of the Beatles and visiting the Snowdonia National Park.

He felt a sense of belonging in the city.

Alan and Sally got married and started a family.

They moved to Norfolk to start new jobs.

They lived by the sea in a larger house in Hunstanton where their children could enjoy sailing and walking in the countryside.

Why did Alan and Sally move to Hunstanton? Was it A, to be close to Snowdonia? B, to start new jobs, or C, because they liked the links with music? Pause the video, have a go.

And when you're ready to check, come back.

How did you get on? If you said that it was B to start new jobs, you would be correct.

Well done.

As their children grew up, they found that the seaside was a little too quiet and they needed to be closer to a city.

So, the family moved to the city of Norwich, where there were more shops and entertainment.

Alan and Sally's children left home.

They retired from teaching and moved to Lyme Regis in Dorset, close to Exeter where they had met at university.

They both liked being near the sea and collecting fossils on the beach, which improved their quality of life.

So let's have a quick check.

True or false? Alan mostly moved house because he was forced to move.

Once you've decided if this is true, or false, I want you to justify your answer with either A, Alan's change in circumstances led to him having to move, or B, Alan chose where to live, such as where to study and retire.

Pause the video, have a go and come back when you're ready to check your answers.

How did you get on? If you said it was false, because A Alan's change in circumstances led to him having to move, rather than him being forced to move, you'd be correct.

Well done.

So, Alan's movement around England can be plotted on a map.

Here's Sheffield, and then he moved to Exeter and then to Liverpool, and then to Hunstanton and then to Norwich.

And finally to Lyme Regis.

Time for a quick check.

Can you remember where Alan lived around the UK? Pause the video, write down as many as you can remember and come back when you're ready to check your answers.

How did you get on? If you mentioned any of these, well done.

Sheffield, Exeter, Liverpool, and Hunstanton, Norwich, or Lyme Regis.

So now it's time for task B and there are three parts to task B.

So number one, find a person who has moved to multiple places in the country.

It may be your teacher, or another adult.

Make a list of the locations in order and write down why they lived there.

And then for number two, mark the locations on the map.

For each move you will need to add a dot, or cross to mark the place and an arrow to show the move.

And finally, number three, label the map to name the places and add why the person moved.

Pause the video and have a go and then come back and we'll have a look at one that I've done.

How did you get on? Here I've done an example for three places where Alan lived.

So, because I couldn't fit the names of the places on the map, I've done it around the map.

So L is Liverpool where Alan moved to work as a teacher.

E is Exeter where Alan trained to be a teacher.

And S is Sheffield where Alan was born and grew up.

So he went from Sheffield, to Exeter, to Liverpool.

How did you get on? Did you miss anything off your map? Now's your chance to pause the video, make any changes you need to, and then come back when you're ready.

So, our summary for our moving within the UK lesson.

People move for lots of different reasons, including for work, economic reasons and to improve their quality of life.

Over time, people can develop a sense of belonging to a place.

The movements of people over time can be shown on a map.

Well done in today's lesson everybody.

I hope you enjoyed that.

Isn't it fascinating learning where other people have moved and why they've moved? Have you found anyone that moved from somewhere, or to somewhere that you've moved to as well? And maybe for the same reasons.

Maybe you found someone that you didn't know used to live in the same place as you.

Anyway, hopefully you had a good geography lesson today and I will see you for some more geography lessons in the future.

Bye.
