GEOGRAPHY

Becoming a Geographer at DCPS

Our Geography curriculum aims to inspire our children to become curious and explorative thinkers with a diverse knowledge of the world; in other words, to think like a geographer. We want our children to develop confidence to question and observe places, measure and record necessary data in various ways, and analyse and present their findings. Through our curriculum, we aim to build an awareness of how Geography shapes our lives at multiple scales and over time. We encourage our children to become resourceful, active citizens who will have the skills to contribute to and improve the world around them.

Our aim is that children who leave our school in Year 6 will be able to:

  • Locate key cities, countries, continents and oceans on a map, atlas or globe.
  • Locate key physical and human features on a map, atlas or globe.
  • To be able to compare and contrast different locations that they have located, explored and investigated.

 

The children learn how to present their learning in both written and oral formats gaining in confidence and becoming purposeful, respectful geographers.
