Geography

I like learning about places and how they are mapped out. I enjoyed looking at oceans and why they matter.

Across pairs of year groups, Year 1 and Year 2; Year 3 and Year 4; Year 5 and Year 6, pupils will cover the strands of:

  • Locational knowledge
  • Place knowledge
  • Human and physical geography
  • Geographical skills and fieldwork

Skills and knowledge are developed by:

  • Use of maps and map making
  • Knowledge and use of the eight main compass points
  • Research, using books and the internet
  • A range of presentation styles, such as labelled diagrams and graphs, and different text genres, such as non-chronological reports and explanations
  • Use of geographical equipment, such as compasses, to assist with fieldwork
