Impact
The monitoring of the standards of children’s work and of the quality of teaching in Geography is the responsibility of the subject leader. The work of the subject leader also involves supporting colleagues in their teaching, being informed about current developments in geography and providing a strategic lead and direction for this subject in the school. The subject leader reviews and evaluates planning annually. It involves creation of an action plan with regular, termly review.
KS1 are studying the seasons. We have made tree pictures using finger-painting to depict the 4 seasons. Some of our children have been outside exploring our surroundings on a sound walk where we listened to sounds around us such as crunching leaves and squelching mud. We collected interesting things that we could see around us such leaves, conkers and berries. Once dried, we will be using them to make pictures and patterns in the classroom.
Mystery Suitcase
Y1 asked Geographical questions to find out where Mrs Ward had been on her holiday. The children were great at coming up with questions and worked out that she'd been to the Seaside on holiday in Whitby!
Yorkshire 'vs' Kenya
In Year 2, we study Yorkshire Vs Kenya. The children are examining maps and looking for key human and physical features, such as the capital Nairobi and Mount Kenya. When then focused on answering some geographical questions, such as "what is Kenya like?" We had some great suggestions- such as "hot and dry" (but also with "a rain season!").
