Our Geography curriculum
Our Geography curriculum and lessons will be highly effective by ensuring we implement Geography in the follow ways:
We will teach a rich variety of topics and issues and use this teaching to encourage and enthuse our pupils. We will build on a wide range of geographical skills, including:
Geographical enquiry: Pupils ask questions and collect information, express conclusions, arguments and develop a sense of curiosity of the world around them.
Fieldwork: Giving pupils the chance to experience such things as landscape features, busy urban streets and explorations of their local environment. Giving pupils opportunities to develop subject knowledge, and gain a range of skills that are difficult to develop in the classroom alone.
Graphicacy: Use of atlases and globes, (aerial) photographs, map work and ICT to select, interpret, investigate, refine and present information.
Geographical communication: Use appropriate geographical vocabulary and conventions in both speech and writing.
The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) follows the EYFS Framework which aims for all children in Reception to have an ‘Understanding of the World: People, Culture and Communities and The Natural World’ by the end of the academic year.
Teachers will plan together to create engaging and informative teaching and learning opportunities which considers prior learning and plan for progression in skills and knowledge.
