How our children learn to be a Geographer

The children are investigators of Geography, they investigate the following during their learning.

KS1                                                                KS2

           

Once our children have a sense of location they are ready to take a deeper dive into human and physical geography. They will begin by using maps, globes and atlases to identify different locations around the world and progress into comparing and contrasting different locations.

Our children are provided with good quality resources and experience as much as they can through first hand through trips. The children learn how to present their learning in both written and oral formats gaining in confidence and becoming purposeful, respectful geographers.
