Description

Pupils will use atlases, maps and globes to develop their locational knowledge of the world. Pupils will focus in on specific places to develop an awareness of how geographers examine place. OS maps and GIS will be used alongside fieldwork to build pupils' procedural knowledge.

This unit introduces pupils to different aspects of being a geographer and develops a greater understanding of what studying the subject entails at secondary school. The unit builds on knowledge pupils gained at primary school and encourages them to consider how much knowledge they have of places, processes and geographical skills. The unit provides a foundation that underpins the rest of the secondary curriculum as it develops a range of key geographical skills such as mapwork and GIS and helps gives pupils a framework of the subject, which allows them to contextualise their learning.
