At Probus Primary School we believe that understanding the world around us, making sense of the way it is inter-related and considering how it might change in the future, stands at the heart of geography. Our Geography curriculum is built on understanding the world as it is now but also consider the future of ouir planet. Each Year group starts the year with a unit with a focus on fieldwork: Year 1 explore our school, Year 2 and 4 study the weather and climate, Year 3 learn about the conservation of bees, Year 5 learn about biomes and visit out local woodland ecosystem and Year 6 tackle the problem with single use plastics.
We aim for our curriculum to be enjoyable, creative, and stimulating, whislt maintaining an inclusive and accesible curriculum for all by designing our lessons and task with coginitive load theory in mind.We hope to inspire children to have a great curiosity of issues both locally and globally, helping them to become respectful geographers and citizens of the world, who will achieve balanced geographical knowledge and understanding of the world in which they live.
