Geography
The Geography curriculum at Charles Saer Community Primary School is designed to give all children an in-depth understanding of the world around them and the way in which people and places are connected across the globe. It is underpinned by a desire to inspire in children a curiosity and fascination about the world that will remain with them throughout their lives.
We aim to provide children with opportunities to investigate and make enquiries about their local area so that they can develop a real sense of who they are, their heritage and what makes our local area unique and special. This allows children to grow up being proud of their community. We are keen for our children to develop their language skills in all areas of the curriculum and we work hard to narrow the vocabulary gap.
Geography-specific vocabulary is taught in all phases and is revisited and revised as children move through the school.
Fieldwork is an essential part of the Geography curriculum and allows the children to explore different habitats in ways they may not have experienced before. This practical component of the curriculum develops children’s independence in their learning, helping set them up to become lifelong learners.
