We want Geography to inspire a curiosity and fascination in pupils about their locality and the world around them. Geography lessons at Dale enable children to develop their awareness of the impact they have towards wider world issues, such as deforestation, climate change and plastic pollution.
At Dale children begin their geographical journey in EYFS, learning about their immediate surroundings and locality. This journey continues through Key Stage One, where children learn about the country they live in and begin to contrast their locality to that of another country. As children journey through Key Stage Two they extend their knowledge of place, by looking beyond their locality to understand about the wider world and key countries within it. During all key stages, children learn about, and use, a variety of key skills that aid their geographical understanding, such as map work, graphs and geographical data.
We teach Geography at Dale in order to provide opportunities for our children to explore and understand the wider world that is beyond their own locality. Geography can deepen children’s understanding of human and physical features and processes of the wider world they live in.
