Investigating a seaside town – Lyme Regis

This lesson is part of The Seaside, a Geography unit designed for students in KS1 and lower KS2 (Y1-3), but can also be taught as a stand alone lesson.

The presentation takes students on a tour of the seaside town of Lyme Regis, home of the famous 19th century paleontologist, Mary Anning.

On the way, students find out about a variety of tourist attractions and other features including the harbour, the Marine Aquarium and the Lyme Regis Museum.

The activity then challenges students to use their map skills to locate these features on a map of the town.

Easier – Students identify each feature of Lyme Regis by writing a number.
Harder – Students identify each feature of Lyme Regis by writing a name.

Extension – Students locate and circle other features of Lyme Regis using the map key.
