Geography
The children learn of man’s interaction with his environment, and of people and places around the world. Specific geographical skills, such as mapping, are taught, as well as environmental issues. Wherever possible links with our local area and environment are developed, as well as teaching the children to recognise differences between the locality, other areas in Great Britain and the world.
To ensure full coverage and progression for each year group, we have a rolling programme which contains themed units with concepts that are repeated and deepened, as well as discrete geography units that build over time. This approach helps children to retain knowledge and build on their prior learning.
We plan for enrichment days, visits and visitors; fieldwork is woven into our LMTW curriculum topics; this is so that key concepts, knowledge and geographical skills can be applied and embedded in real life contexts.
As well as discrete geography lessons, through many of our LMTW curriculum topics, Geography and History are closely linked, as we recognise that the inter-connected relationship between time and place helps to develop our understanding of the world around us.
