In
Geography it is hoped that children will gradually gain
knowledge of themselves, their environment, and of their place
in the wider world. The curriculum is designed to ensure
continuity and progression for each child at his or her own
level of skill and understanding.
For the youngest children plans will include a programme
of visits on or adjacent to the Island where the children’s
learning will start from first-hand experience.
As the
children progress through the school visits further a field will
form part of their study and the pupils will begin to use other
sources of information to develop their learning.
Much of
the work will involve investigation and enquiry and is designed
to stimulate children’s ability to think through a problem and
anticipate outcomes, both individually and in co-operation with
others in a group.
A good supply of books, and others resources are available and
all pupils will be taught to use these essential tools in their
learning.
