Geography
At Windy Nook Primary School, our intent is to incorporate key geographical concepts across the curriculum. This allows our pupils to develop a greater understanding and awareness of the world around them.
The implementation allows the children to compare and contrast our local area to international locations, therefore further developing geographical concepts. Pupils learn the geographic skills and vocabulary required through a variety of digital and practical activities, including fieldwork. This broadens their knowledge and allows them to access Geography through various forms. Pupils develop their ability to use and navigate maps to locate cities, countries, mountain ranges, rivers, seas and oceans through a variety of forms, such as atlases, ordinance survey maps, digital and satellite maps. Our ‘Where in the World Map?’ enables pupils to apply their learning about countries from other subjects to Geography.
The impact of the teaching, learning and experiences is pupils have a curiosity about the world around them and can identify similarities and differences between themselves and others in terms of how and why we live like we do.
In the Early Years, Geography is linked to Understanding the World – People and Communities, The World.
