Georgraphy INTENT

 

Our Geography will incite children’s curiosity and fascination about the world 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. We are committed to 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.

EYFS INTENT

 

Prepare children for upcoming changes and how to deal with change. Children begin to explore Geography by learning about the similarities and differences of the immediate environment. Children learn about similarities and differences in relation to places. They talk about the features of their own immediate environment and how environments might vary from one another. (Understanding the World: The World - ELG)
