Term 1 Letters: curriculum and secondary school transfer
TERM 1
Our Learning Journey this term is Geography: We will be learning about a country in Asia.
Firstly, we will be revising our knowledge of Kent, the differences between Great Britain, the British Isles and the United Kingdom.
We will be improving our geographical skills by: reading maps; using a key; using geographical vocabulary such as urban, rural, coastal, longitude, latitude; asking relevant questions; using compass points for locating places; knowing the difference between human and physical features and using this knowledge to identify features of locations.
We will spend time learning about our key country and focusing on the following broader geographical questions:
- Where is it?
- What is it like to live there?
- How can we find out what it is like there?
Watch this space to find out about our geographical learning journey!
