Geography

In Geography, our aim is to inspire a curiosity and fascination about the world and its people through learning about diverse cultures, places and environments. The children will also gain knowledge of the world’s human and physical features through studying globally significant places and changes over time. They will learn to interpret a range of geographical information, including maps, atlases, diagrams and photographs. In Key Stage 1, there is a focus on world, UK and local geography which is explored through research and observation. Children begin to understand seasonal weather patterns, recognise hot and cold areas across the globe and build their geographical vocabulary for the world’s physical and human features. In Key Stage 2, children develop their knowledge further by identifying countries and major world cities on a map. They also begin to explore the world’s climate zones, biomes, Earth’s natural resources and the development of settlements and important trade links.
