Geography
Studying Geography helps us to understand the world in which we live, and to think about our place in the world and how this relates to other people, cultures and environment.
Through teaching Geography we are helping children to develop lively and enquiring minds about their local surroundings and the wider world.
Geography lends itself to cross-curricular links and so is taught in this way; through literacy, art, religious education etc.
Foundation Stage
Geography is taught through the area of ‘Knowledge and Understanding’. Activities are based on first hand experiences that encourage exploration, observation, critical thinking, decision making and discussion.
Foundation stage children learn geography through the topics;
- All about me/My School
- Bears
- Animals

- Water
