Curriculum Intent
Through our Geography Curriculum, we intend to inspire in pupils a curiosity and fascination about the world and its people that will remain with them for rest of their lives. We aim to equip pupils with knowledge about diverse places, people, resources and natural and human environments. As pupils progress in their knowledge about the world, we will encourage them to deepen their understanding of the interaction between physical and human processes, and of the formation and use of landscapes and environments.
Our curriculum intent for Geography is for all pupils to:
- develop contextual knowledge of the location of globally significant places-both terrestrial and marine-including defining physical and human characteristics.
- be competent in geographical skills needed to: collect, analyse and communicate with a range of data gathered through experiences of fieldwork that deepen their understanding of geographical processes.
- interpret a range of sources of geographical information, including maps, diagrams, globes and aerial photographs.
- communicate geographical information in a variety of ways, including through maps, numerical and quantitative skills and writing.
- understand the processes that give rise to key physical and human geographical features of the world.
Aerial Lady Bay Across the Years
I have wanted to focus on all of the fabulous work we do with Maps at Lady Bay Primary School. The display in our Lower School Hall reflects this. The children in both Key Stages, including FS, look at, compare and draw maps of different types and scales.
In the last two years, teachers from all year groups have displayed a lovely range of work and facts linked to the Units of Work in Geography, that they have been covering in their year groups. It has been fantastic to see work and key vocabulary displayed for the children to enjoy and learn from. These displays are constantly changing but here are some past and previous examples.
