GEOGRAPHY

Through engaging topics and experiences, the children are able to develop their understanding of the world around them. Their first experiences will be based upon the locality directly surrounding them including the school and local environment before moving more widely to other countries and continents, using atlases, books, websites and other sources of information. As the children progress in their knowledge and understanding, so they will progress in their skills.  They will be taught to interpret maps, gain an understanding of different cultures, develop an understanding of the different human and physical features and investigate and develop an awareness of environmental issues at a local and more global level.
