Why do we teach Geography and History?
Curriculum Drivers
The English curriculum is driven by the topic, as we base all our learning in quality texts, which are linked to the topic. It is our belief that this cross-curricular approach deepens and embeds learning to ensure that information is transferred to the long-term memory.
Cultural diversity
When studying ancient cultures such as Greece and Egypt, the children also compare and contrast to the modern day counterpart; thus immersing themselves in cultural diversity. In Geography led units, the children learn about (and from) cultures, faiths and communities; as well as physical geography.
