Improving geography

Why study geography?

We all make a mark on where we live, and where we live leaves its mark on us. Learning about the links between our lives and the environment around us is central to geography lessons at this stage. Children find out about an area in the UK and how it compares with other places around the world.

To help them get the best out of their investigations inside and outside the classroom, they learn how to use maps, photographs and computers - skills which prove useful in

other subjects as well as when they leave school.

And, at Woodberry Down, we ensure children's experiences are as broad as possible. Look at our Spring Term 2005 geography plans, based on the tragic events of 26 December 2004.
