Geography Statement
Geography is a valued part of the curriculum as it provides a means of exploring, appreciating and understanding the world in which we live and how it has evolved. Geography explores the relationship between the Earth and its people. Geography stimulates curiosity and imagination, and we aim to build upon the child’s ‘personal geography’ by developing geographical skills, understanding and knowledge through studying places and themes.
By revisiting areas of previous learning, children will gain a bank of new knowledge that will evolve with them as they move through the years at St Lawrence. Because the curriculum is arranged in a spiral way, learning is committed to long-term memory as the children grow.
We encourage children to learn by experience and we value fieldwork as an integral part of the Geography Curriculum. The skills children acquire will be valuable and transferable to cross-curricular areas promoting their spiritual, moral, social and cultural development.
