There were a few good slides and activities in this pack but overall I would not recommend. I bought this after finding the Mexico pack was great ( factual case studies, good map activities, attractive slides). However, the coast pack is not as good. It lacks depth, case study (Scarborough) is too old, limited map work/skills.

Hi Katie, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review - we always appreciate feedback from our customers. We are constantly updating and improving our resources, and so I will pass on your comments about this scheme to the resource creators.

I’ve only used the first lesson so far but the children were thoroughly engaged and loved sharing the coasts of the U.K. they had visited and identifying what type of coastal landform it was.
Thank you PlanBee Team.
