Let's explore together...

Geography leads our learning through the spring, which is our 'explore' term. Children develop an understanding of some of the features of the physical and human features of our islands, and then they compare them in more detail with locations in Europe and North and South America. They learn to identify the wider world by using a range of maps and reference materials. Much of our learning is focused around developing an understanding of our place in the world, and fostering a sense of responsibility for our planet. In other terms, geography is taught alongside other curriculum subjects.

Around the world in tasty ways!

As part of our 'Explore' term in Spring 2022, we enjoyed a special day learning about the cultures of different countries around the world. We sampled traditional foods and learned new words in other languages. This has helped us to increase our knowledge about places.
