Geography
At St Bernadette, we believe that Geography is vital to a rich and broad primary education. It helps pupils to make sense of the world around them and piques their curiosity in places and people. Plan Bee offers a sequence of lessons to help teachers ensure they have progressively covered the skills and concepts required in the National Curriculum. Our pupils learn about diverse places, people, resources and environments, with a deepening understanding of the Earth’s key physical and human processes and of the formation of landscapes and environments over time.
Skills covered in our Geography Curriculum:
- Geographical enquiry
- Locational and place knowledge
- Human and physical geography
- Fieldwork skills
- Map skills
- Geographical skills (eg. Asking geographical questions)
