TTB Geographers

As Geographers we arediscovering our world - and the communities and places within it.

Each year, children develop their geographical knowledge and discover the world through the two key concepts of ‘empire’ and ‘unique features’.  This knowledge is revisited and broadened each year as children study geographical features within their local area, across the UK and Europe and the wider world.  Children study the physical and human characteristics of a place and how this has impacted on its use throughout history.

Our curriculum balances building core knowledge (facts, names, locations, vocabulary) through discovery into real places, hands-on experiences, field work and map work.

Our geography teaching meets the aims of the national curriculum and ensures that all children at TPA are able to:

• build their knowledge of communities and places around the world whilst comparing them to their own.
• understand the world's key physical and human processes and how they interact
• understand how landscapes and environments are used by communities
• develop their fieldwork skills to discover the world first hand
• communicate geographical information in a variety of ways, including maps, symbols, diagrams and written observations 
• use their mapwork skills, including maps, diagrams, globes and photos, to discover a range of geographical information
