Project Explore (Geography)

I have learnt that we need to do more to stop deforestation.  I was really happy when I found out that as part of our learning we would be fundraising to buy an acre of rainforest - Year 4 Pupil

Our Explore Projects are taught in the Spring term, the primary focus being Geography.

Geography Intent

We believe that the teaching and learning of Geography should provoke a natural curiosity about the world and its people. The curriculum is designed to equip pupils with knowledge about diverse places, people, resources and natural and human environments, together with a thoughtful understanding of the Earth’s key physical and human processes. Children will aspire to develop skills that lead them to discovering answers to their own questions through creative exploration and practical experiences.

Pupils will develop skills and knowledge and understanding in the following:

Locational Knowledge | Develop contextual knowledge of the location of globally significant places.

Place Knowledge | Understand geographical similarities and differences through studying the human and physical geography of the United Kingdom and different areas within the wider world.

Human and Physical Geography | Describe and understand key aspects, characteristics and processes of the world’s most significant human and physical features and how these are interdependent and bring about change over time.

Map and Fieldwork Skills | Competence in the geographical skills needed to collect, interpret and communicate geographical information in a variety of ways.
