Geography 

Intent 

At Butleigh C of E Primary school it is our intention that through our topic enquiry questions that all children will develop a curiosity about the world and it countries and continents. For children to develop an awareness of both human and physical geography and how daily routines across the world can be changed by these. For all children to have the opportunity to take part in activities that set an example in protecting our local environment and the world. For children to develop an awareness of their own local area and develop fieldwork through activities on and off the school site (school trips and forest school). To feel a sense of friendship with the link church in Kenya and sponsored friend Allan and understanding of life there.

We aim for Butleigh children to be geographers who:

• Have an excellent knowledge of places and what they are like.
• Understand how places are interdependent and interconnected and how physical and human environments are interrelated.
• Can use extensive geographical vocabulary.
• Can apply geographical questioning skills to geographical enquiry.
• Have the ability to express well-balanced opinions, rooted in good knowledge and understanding about issues in society and the environment.
• Can carry out fieldwork and other geographical skills.
• Have a curiosity of the world and people who live there.
