Geography here at Morpeth All Saints…

At Morpeth All Saints our History and Geography lessons are skills based and knowledge-rich. Our yearly overview illustrates the extensive coverage of the curriculum which is inter-woven with a bespoke progression of knowledge and skills to take our children beyond the National Curriculum. Throughout the year and across the phases, pupils are able to build upon pre-existing learning by revisiting certain areas of study and experience new learning to enable pupils to consolidate new skills and knowledge.

Intent:

Teaching and learning will strive to enable the children at Morpeth All Saints to become lifelong geographers who have the skills and attitudes to continue to appreciate the world around them.  Thorough the Geography Curriculum children will learn about the Earth’s key physical and human processes whilst deepening their understanding of the interaction between physical and human processes and how this affects landscapes and environments.  Whilst teaching the Geography curriculum, strong links will be made to the environment and the challenges we face protecting it in this modern age.

Geography learning will not take place just in the classroom. Outdoor, practical geography activities will focus on children gaining a sound understanding of the key human and physical features of their local environment whilst employing their developing fieldwork skills.  Teaching will foster children’s natural curiosity about the world, and inspire curiosity and fascination about the world’s people, places, resources and environments.   Through their learning in Geography, children will be aware of their roles and responsibilities as Global Citizens. The individual talents and abilities of pupils will be promoted to ensure that each child fulfils his or her full potential.
