Geography
Geography at Chapel End Infant School and Early Years Centre
At Chapel End Infant School and Early Years Centre, we believe that Geography helps to promote and provide answers to questions about the natural and human aspects of the world. Children are encouraged to develop a greater understanding and knowledge of the world, its connectedness and the children’s place in it. The geography curriculum at Chapel End Infant School and Early Years Centre enables children to develop knowledge and skills, which are transferable to other curriculum areas. We seek to inspire the children’s curiosity and fascination about the world and the people living in it, which will equip them well for future education and beyond.
Intent
Our Geography curriculum is designed to develop children’s curiosity and fascination about the world they live in. We intend to equip children with geographical skills to develop their knowledge through studying places, people and natural and human environments.
Implementation
Geography lessons are planned coherently to build children’s understanding progressively from their local area and slowly into the wider world. When applicable, fieldwork allows children to apply their geographical skills in a real-life setting and explore their local area and the features within it. Children have access to key language and meanings in order to understand and readily apply to their written, mathematical and verbal communication of their skills, in a purposeful context.
