Geography Curriculum Statement
Intent
At Biddick Hall Infant School, we endeavour to inspire children to have a fascination with the world and its people. We believe children should learn about the diverse people and places from around the world. They should begin to have an understanding of the world around them, knowing key physical and human features of their immediate locality and begin to compare it to that of the wider world. We encourage children to ask questions about other places and to research human and physical features of places using high quality geographical texts, globes, atlases and the internet. Maps and globes are part of continuous provision in all classes. In Year 1 children have a large map of The United Kingdom displayed. In Year 2, children have a map of the world, including the continents and seas.
Key geographical themes such as fieldwork skills, maps, human and physical features are revisited across KS1 to enable a deeper understanding of geographical concepts over time.
