St. Joseph's Hunslet Primary School

In Geography, we intend to provide and encourage children to develop a greater understanding and knowledge about the world, as well as their place in it. We aim to provoke, provide answers to questions and encourage investigations about the natural and human aspects of the world. Our intent is to inspire in children a curiosity and fascination about the world and people within it; to promote the children’s interest and understanding of diverse places, people, resources and natural and human environments, together with a deep understanding of the Earth’s key physical and human processes.

Each year group will be taught three Geography topics per year.

You will notice that some topics are repeated in different year groups. Children will build on previous knowledge and skills each time they are taught the topics. For Example, in KS1 children will learn what maps are and how to read a map using a 2-figure gird reference. By Year 6 children will learn how to map read using a 6-figure grid reference.

If you feel you have any specific skills or resources that could support the teaching of Geography in our school please speak with Mrs Elwen.
