Here at Collis we aim to encourage the children’s geographical understanding through a wide variety of exciting topics and trips. To spark the children’s curiosity in Geography, we teach using a cross-curricular approach, allowing the children to access the curriculum in an engaging and interactive way. We are committed to all pupils leaving our school, knowing more and remembering more by having a strong emphasis on prior learning. Collis children will understand and celebrate their place in the world.
A high-quality geography education should inspire in pupils a curiosity and fascination about the world and its people.... Teaching should equip pupils with knowledge about diverse places, people, resources and natural and human environments, together with a deep understanding of the Earth’s key physical and human processes.
National Curriculum 2013
Each lesson is planned to engage all children by use of resources and questioning. Each year group has globes and a set of atlases. Children are given time in lessons to discuss new topics and have the opportunity to further their research using the Chrome books.
A variety of trips take place throughout the children’s time at Collis, starting with Bocketts’ Farm in Reception and culminating in a Yr 6 coastal features field study. We aim to equip children with essential knowledge about the world through a use of resources including atlases, maps, compasses, videos and use as many first hand experiences as possible.
