Geography
Our Geography curriculum for KS1-KS2 follows four main themes: weather, oceans, locational studies and environmental geography.
About this curriculum
There is an expectation that children will use their prior learning and build upon this as they journey through Eden Park. Children will reach an end point where their understanding of the World has been strengthened and deepened through this purposefully mapped out curriculum.
In Early Years, children will encounter Geography through ‘Understanding of the World’. Here children will look at people, culture and communities and the natural world. They will leave Early Years with a basic understanding of where they live and how this differs to other areas (Brixham and Beyond). Children are also well prepared for their Y1 learning on the weather through their daily discussions and observations of weather conditions and seasons. Year 1 builds on this prior learning and extends it through their fieldwork studies. The EYFS curriculum is mindful of how their curriculum can be used to create the foundations of prior knowledge which we build upon as children journey through Year 1 and KS1.
