Geography
Intent
Key Knowledge to be learned in Geography
In geography children will regularly address and sometimes devise geographically valid questions about people, places, resources and natural and human environments. This will develop a secure understanding of local, British and world geography.
Through devising and addressing these questions children will:
Develop contextual knowledge of the location of globally significant places including their defining physical and human characteristics.
Understand the characteristic features of rivers, mountains, earthquakes, biomes and vegetation belts.
Understand the processes that give rise to key physical and human geographical features of the world, how these are interdependent and how they bring about spatial variation and change over time.
Become competent in the geographical skills needed to:
collect, analyse and communicate with a range of data gathered through experiences of fieldwork that deepen their understanding of geographical processes
interpret a range of sources of geographical information, including maps, diagrams, globes and aerial photographs
communicate geographical information in a variety of ways, including through maps, numerical and quantitative skills and writing at length
By the end of their time at Hyrstmount they should be able to note connections, contrasts and trends across areas of the world.
