Geography at St. Christopher's
Geography is the study of places and the relationships between people and their environments. At St. Christopher's, Geography is all about enquiry, knowledge and geographical skills. It is taught through a topic-based curriculum in which we start with a 'big question'. Throughout the topic, we use research, fieldwork and map skills to develop our knowledge and understanding in order to answer the 'big question'.
Currently, Years 3 and 4 follow the Opening Worlds scheme. This is a knowledge- rich curriculum that helps develop subject-specific vocabulary and provides opportunities to make links with other subjects. There are also plenty of opportunities to practise geographical skills, using high-quality resources.
The objectives we cover in our Geography topics are taken from the National Curriculum. Please click the link below to take a closer look.
