The ability to express well balanced opinions, rooted in very good knowledge and understanding about current and contemporary issues in society and the environment. Chris Quigley Essentials 3
4 Aims of the National Curriculum The National Curriculum for geography aims to ensure that all pupils: Develop contextual knowledge of the location of globally significant places both terrestrial and marine including their defining physical and human characteristics and how these provide geographical context for understanding the actions of processes. Understand the processes that give rise to key physical and human geographical features of the world, how these are interdependent and how they bring about spatial variation and change over time. Are competent in the geographical skills needed to: o Collect, analyse and communicate with a range of data gathered through experiences of fieldwork that deepen their understanding of geographical processes. o Interpret a range of sources of geographical information, including maps, diagrams, globes, aerial photographs and Geographical Information Systems (GIS). o Communicate geographical information in a variety of ways, including through maps and writing at length. 4
5 Early Years Early Learning Goals Area of EYFS curriculum Early Learning Goals The World Children know about similarities and differences in relation to places, objects, materials and living things. They talk about the features of their own immediate environment and how environments might vary from one another. They make observations of animals and plants and explain why some things occur, and talk about changes.
