Geography
Geography at Red Oak Primary School is taught through topics that are chosen to help develop and further children’s knowledge of the world around us. It begins in the Foundation Stage where children are encouraged to gain a sense of understanding of their local environment and begin to develop awareness of others in the world, changes and developments over time. From Key Stage One onwards pupils are taught key geographical skills in order to develop knowledge about the world, the United Kingdom and their locality. They are taught how to use and understand subject-specific vocabulary in relation to Human and Physical Geography and develop skills to enhance their locational and place knowledge. Our children are also taught to develop geographical skills through first-hand observations and field trips where appropriate.
