Curriculum Coverage
Geography Curriculum Progression Document
Here at St Anne's we aim to inspire children from an early age to think about their own place in the world, the environment, their rights and responsibilities to other people. Within Early Years, the themes are taught through 'Understanding of the World' where they will learn about people, culture and communities as well as the natural world.
Through the study of Geography children are given wider opportunities to develop an understanding of their surrounds, other places, and how people use their environment.
Children are encouraged to broaden their knowledge of places and environments from throughout the world, develop an understanding of maps and atlases as well as problem solving skills inside and outside the classroom. Our pupils are introduced to techniques, to undertake fieldwork and geographical enquiries.
