Geography
Geography is concerned
with the study of places, the human and physical
processes which shape them, and the people who
live in them. Geography helps children to make
sense of their immediate surroundings and the
wider world.
Much of KS1 geography
is based on direct experience, practical activities
and exploration of the local area. Pupils will
use maps, pictures and books to compare Liverpool
with other places. The children will be introduced
to the vocabulary of geography and be encouraged
to use the specific geographical words to ask
geographical questions.
At KS2 children will develop their understanding
of geography by studying a contrasting locality
and a locality in an economically developing country.
They are taught how to find geographical information
and develop skills to help them interpret and
make sense of the knowledge gained
