Geography at Homerswood
At Homerswood Primary and Nursery School, we believe that Geography should support pupils to develop respect for different cultures, inspire curiosity about their own locality and the wider world, and develop critical thinking skills which allow for quality debate. We aim to provide a broad and balanced view of the world and its people, through teaching the key skills of:
Locational knowledge
Place knowledge
Human and physical geography
Geographical skills and fieldwork
We follow The Rising Stars Geography Scheme which provides key questions, to stimulate curiosity and debate, key vocabulary, cross-curricular links, and background subject knowledge for teachers. Our Homerswood Values and Golden Threads are embedded within our Geography Curriculum by developing the understanding that everyone has the right to a voice, promoting mutual respect and tolerance, and understanding our responsibilities for protecting the environment. Pupils explore issues such as Global Climate Change and our role in it, through studying the unit ‘Protecting the Environment’. Enabling pupils to understand the ethical issues about our lifestyle and how the choices we make impact on many poor communities trying to cope with what the richer world has brought upon them. Teaching pupils to respect and value diversity is encouraged in the day to day teaching and learning through showing respect for different viewpoints and ideas as well as in the ability to work effectively together both individually and in groups.
