Geography is enjoyed by all children at High View through exciting and engaging topics. Children explore Geography through inquisitive and ‘hands on’ experiences that allow them to generate and investigate questions about the world they live in. They learn to understand the world around them by first engaging with their locality. Knowledge is deepened by exploring other countries and cultures and reflecting on how these relate to their own place in the world. Through our teaching we aim to expand pupil’s geographical knowledge and develop their ability to investigate and ask questions about the world around them.
Geography learning is further enriched in school by trips to the seaside in KS1, a workshop on rivers in Year 5 and map reading activities completed by the children on the Year 4 and Year 6 residential trips.
