Geography
We teach Geography as an individual subject. Our ‘Units of Work’ in each subject have been carefully crafted by expert teachers across our Five School Partnership, identifying composite tasks and breaking them down in to component tasks to ensure sequential, layered knowledge acquisition. These ‘Units of Work’ also support our particular style of teaching. Children use ‘Knowledge Organisers’ to help them to remember key information related to those subjects and take part in a wide variety of out of school visits to places of geographical interest linked to their learning e.g. orienteering at Hampstead Heath, Earthquake workshops at the Natural History Museum. We work with a local theatre company to create 'Inspiration Days' for our children to introduce them to a geography topic.
