Geography
Intent
Childhood is a time of great natural inquisitiveness, a time where children begin to develop a sense of how and why the world is as it is.
Humanities perform an integral role when empowering our children to become active, engaged and informed Global Citizens. At Carlton Primary School we capture their ever increasing interest, questioning and enquiry to immerse them in the knowledge of our world.
Geography provides our children with different perspectives of our natural and human worlds; scaffolding a healthy understanding of their own cultures and others. Through investigations, problem solving and their acquired geographical skills our children learn to reflect about significant processes and places that will affect themselves and others. This ensures our children have the skills to think ethically and morally, therefore growing with the knowledge on how to become a responsible member of our locality and world; now and in the future.
Implementation
Following the National Curriculum alongside Hywell Robert's 'Imagineering' the children are captured and immersed in the subject of Geography through a Topic. Ensuring the progression of skills is scaffolded with pre and post assessments, Knowledge organisers, vocabulary lists, visitors and trips, our children are taken on a journey locally and globally enriching their understanding of their environment; their world! Allowing opportunities for our children to question and make judgements and decisions. They are Inspired by stories and planned questioning, alongside maps, globes and atlases.
