Geography

The children learn how to use geographical skills and resources including maps and plans, to find out about places, e.g. a local area, a place in UK or overseas.  The pupils study how and why features change, how to care for the environment and develop fieldwork skills around our school and neighbourhood.

Topics in KS1:

- Around our School                
- Polar Regions, rainforest and deserts           
- Mapwork
- Routes and Journeys              
- Homes Around the World
- Contrasting localities: Bangladesh and Australasia 
- We also follow with interest  ‘Where in the World is Barnaby Bear?’

In KS2 we begin the year by looking at different approaches to geography, through physical, human and environmental issues.

- Settlement
