At St Michael’s, we teach Geography to develop a better world view – it helps the children to gain an appreciation for the world that goes beyond the borders that they live within and develops their understanding that they are part of a global community.
We want the children to…
· Develop an understanding of place within space.
· Develop and appreciation that the world goes beyond their border; that they are part of a global community.
· Encourage children to reflect on our key question weaving through our geography curriculum – “How can we improve the quality of people’s lives?”
· Provide the children with a framework of knowledge so that will become educated citizens (cultural capital).
· Inspire in our children a curiosity and fascination about the world they live in.
We have a common theme weaving through all our units—the focus on climate change and how a system change is needed to address our concern about global warming.
