Geography

At Bournes Green Junior School, our Geography curriculum engages children with the wider world around them.  Children build on their existing knowledge of their local area, learning about the wider world. The strands of geography are woven into the curriculum to provide children with a deep understanding of the United Kingdom, Europe and North and South America. In each lesson, children focus on one clear learning objective which are built upon on one strand of geography. All lessons are designed to focus on knowledge and geographical vocabulary whilst providing children with opportunities to develop key geographical skills. These opportunities encourage and celebrate children’s curiosity about both the world and the people in it.
