Geography

Geography is taught for six weeks, in the second half term of the Autumn, Spring and Summer terms. Topics are sequenced to allow a progression throughout the school.  The sequenced modules activate prior learning, building on skills and deepening knowledge and understanding. Learning, vocabulary and content is cumulative; content is learned, retrieved and built upon. There is an emphasis on oracy and vocabulary acquisition, retention and use to break down learning barriers and accelerate progress. A rich diet of language and vocabulary is deliberately planned for. Specific skills are discreetly taught and practised so that they become transferrable.
