Geography topics are planned for each term and taught across a whole Key Stage. Where possible they link with our History topics.
We aim to:
- Create well-rounded geographers.
- Encourage children to understand more about their local community and the wider world.
- Give children a knowledge of capital cities, countries and continents.
- Provide opportunities for all children to have the geographical skills and knowledge to prepare them for their future.
- Build on and use key geographical vocabulary.
How we will achieve our aims:
- High quality teaching.
- Geography taught across each year group and following a progressive programme of study.
- Children are given the opportunity to develop a range of geographical skills.
- Building a love of geography by using cross curricular links where possible.
- Use of geographical sources and resources to engage the children in their learning.
- Geographical vocabulary used and embedded in all lessons from EYFS to Year 6.
We will know we’ve achieved our aims if:
- Children are enthusiastic geographers.
- Children will be able to recognise the importance of geography not only to their everyday lives but to their community and the wilder world.
- Children will be able to use a range of geographical resources with increasing confidence.
- The children will be able to talk with confidence and pleasure about what they have learned or are learning, using correct terminology.
- The children will have a better understanding of their local community and better knowledge of capital cities, countries and continents.
- Children will be able to apply their cross curricular knowledge from geography to other areas.
