In geography children learn about their immediate locality and the wider world they live in. They are encouraged to compare and contrast the different places on our planet. Geography teaching helps pupils to understand the relationship between human and physical geography and develop an understanding of how they can improve the world we live in.
To conclude each unit we have an end-point where children can show off what they have learned. It might be a presentation to parents, a museum with annotated artefacts and information the children have created or a debate.
We have been learning about how a river works. Learning where the source of the River Trent is and where it ends up and learning the names of the parts of a river. We also took part in some pond dripping.
We tested lake and river water and compare the results. We have tested the PH level, the temperature, what the lake bed looks like and how many creatures we found in our samples. We also tested how fast the river was flowing.
We are ambitious for our children.

We have adapted the National Curriculum history and geography Programme of Study for the basis of our teaching.
Nothing is left to chance in the curriculum. Our key knowledge documents show the facts we want our children to know and remember.
