This includes both Geology & Earth Science aspects, such as the structure of the Earth and physical features we see on the land, as well as Environmental Science aspects, such as the weather and our changing climate. Both of these are threaded through the science curriculum too.
Human ProcessesThe processes and phenomena that are caused by or relate to people, including out Use of Resources; the distribution and changes to Population & Communities; and the features of Economy & Development.
Explicit teaching of core disciplinary knowledge gives children the ability to engage with increasingly challenging geographical questions. These skills are sequenced across our year groups and where appropriate they will build on relevant knowledge that is taught in mathematics or science.
Our curriculum gives children opportunities to carryout fieldwork. These opportunities will allow children to explicitly practise relevant disciplinary knowledge as well as reinforcing substantive knowledge.
