Geography
Tillington Manor Primary School's Geography Curriculum
Children will develop their knowledge, understanding and skills in relation to:
Geographical enquiry and geographical vocabulary to articulate understanding
Places and key geographical features
Physical features of places
Human features of localities
Strands of learning from the NC programme of study have been sub-divided in to key skills and concepts which have been progressively sequenced from EYFS to Y6. Topics in EYFS/KS1 start from the point of the immediate area surrounding the school and broaden to include a gradually widening use of the local area.Topics at key stage 2 include an increasing use of localities from around the world, including localities at differing stages of economic development.
Learning in geography will support our key priority to develop:
children’s ability to read with understanding and to present a range of information in written form coherently and with appropriate grammatical accuracy
children’s capacity to apply numerical concepts
children’s thinking skills, encouraging their ability to develop ideas for themselves and to respond to and devise questions in enquiry based situations
Children will encounter topics in geography which:
reflect the diverse ethnic nature of society – they will learn about the contributions of people from different parts of the world to the management of the physical environment and the creation of human features - they will discover reasons for actions and features and be encouraged how discriminatory attitudes in the past have contributed to incorrect views of features
allows them to appreciate the wonder and beauty of man’s achievements and the natural environment
The emphasis in geography on enquiry, places a key responsibility on children to find out for themselves, to research and present information in a variety of ways. Children will be encouraged to:
find solutions using a range of strategies
complete an expected minimum of work within a set amount of time using resources appropriately matched to their independent ability level work collaboratively
