Geography

Intent of the Geography Curriculum at Lakeside

Geography is a fascinating, exciting subject. We want children to learn all about the world around them through the study of engaging, creative topics that build upon children's knowledge and skills as they progress through our school. Our intent is that children will:

• have a good understanding of where they are in the world and what is available in their local area.
• gain a good knowledge of the location of globally significant places and their physical and human characteristics.
• understand process that cause changes to different places in the world, explore why these changes happen and how they can contribute to creating a sustainable planet.
• develop competent geographical skills to be able to collect, analyse and communication geographical data collected through fieldwork.
• interpret a range of sources of geographical information including maps, diagrams, globes and aerial photographs.
