Geography
At Saltford School we place great value on learning about the world around us and further away. We find out about the landscape and the way humans affect it. To help us we use maps, artefacts, accounts, books, images, videos, websites and our own observations. Fieldwork and visits are very important! We record our work in many ways, too.
We aim to develop the four key areas of geographical learning:
- Geographical enquiry and skills
- Knowledge and understanding of places
- Knowledge and understanding of patterns and processes
- Knowledge and understanding of environmental change and sustainable development
We do this by studying a range of localities, including those we are familiar with and those that are contrasting and by examining a variety of geographical themes.
We often learn through Topics, which we enjoy linking with other areas of the curriculum. We value the contribution that all children make to our geographical work.
