Geography
The Geography Curriculum at Brentfield:
Through the geography curriculum, children’s curiosity and fascination about the world and its people is developed. They investigate a range of places – both in Britain and abroad – to help develop their knowledge and understanding of the Earth’s physical and human processes.
As children progress, we believe that their growing knowledge about the world should help them to deepen their understanding of the interaction between physical and human processes, and of the formation and use of landscapes and environments. Their geographical knowledge, understanding and skills will help them to understand how the Earth’s features at different scales are shaped, interconnected and change over time.
We aim to do this by providing children with opportunities to investigate and make enquiries about their local area so that they can develop of real sense of who they are, their heritage and what makes our local area unique and special. They study communities across the world to gain an understanding of how countries and regions are different yet inter-connected.
Our key aims are for pupils to:
- investigate places
- investigate patterns
- communicate geographically
Through trips and visits, children are given the opportunity to put their learning into real life contexts.
