Geography
At Christ the King we aim to teach geography in a way that enables pupils to learn about many aspects of the contemporary world at different scales (local to global). Children explore the world around us through themes that woven together important (such as settlement, rivers, sustainability) with place studies (such as North Wales, UK, South America) and case studies (such as deforestation in the Amazon Rainforest) to give a comprehensive grounding in geography. To do this we follow and adapt the Opening Worlds curriculum which provides carefully structured knowledge about our complex world for Key Stage 2 pupils. Our EYFS curriculum enables children to start to explore the world around them. In Key Stage to children look at human and geographical features around the local areas (including fieldwork) and move to comparing Liverpool to other cities in the World.They also develop knowledge about the world, the United Kingdom and their locality. This is done by progressively developing their geographical skills and knowledge. Our overall goal is that all children can orient themselves in our world.
