Geography

National

curriculum

Pupils should be taught: Locational knowledge

▪ name and locate the world’s seven continents and five oceans

▪ name, locate and identify characteristics of the four countries and capital cities of the United Kingdom and its surrounding seas

Place knowledge

▪ understand geographical similarities and differences through studying the human and physical geography of a small area of the United Kingdom, and of a small area in a

contrasting non-European country

Human and physical geography

▪ identify seasonal and daily weather patterns in the United Kingdom and the location of hot and cold areas of the world in relation to the Equator and the North and

South Poles

▪ use basic geographical vocabulary to refer to:

▪ key physical features, including: beach, cliff, coast, forest, hill, mountain, sea, ocean, river, soil, valley, vegetation, season and weather

▪ key human features, including: city, town, village, factory, farm, house, office, port, harbour and shop

Geographical skills and fieldwork

▪ use world maps, atlases and globes to identify the United Kingdom and its countries, as well as the countries, continents and oceans studied at this key stage

▪ use simple compass directions (North, South, East and West) and locational and directional language [for example, near and far; left and right], to describe the

location of features and routes on a map

▪ use aerial photographs and plan perspectives to recognise landmarks and basic human and physical features; devise a simple map; and use and construct basic symbols in

a key

▪ use simple fieldwork and observational skills to study the geography of their school and its grounds and the key human and physical features of its surrounding

environment.


RE in Early Years

Pupils should encounter religions and world views through special people, books, times, places and objects and by visiting places of worship. They should listen to and

talk about stories. Pupils can be introduced to subject specific words and use all their senses to explore beliefs, practices and forms of expression. They ask

questions and reflect on their own feelings and experiences. They use their imagination and curiosity to develop their appreciation of and wonder at the world in

which they live. Religious Education is, unlike the subjects of the National Curriculum, a legal requirement for all pupils on the school roll, including all those in the

reception year.

▪ naming the letters of the alphabet in order

▪ using letter names to distinguish between alternative spellings of the same sound

• add prefixes and suffixes:

▪ using the spelling rule for adding –s or –es as the plural marker for nouns and the

in similar ways) and to practise these

Writing composition

Pupils should be taught to:

• write sentences by:

▪ saying out loud what they are going to write about

▪ composing a sentence orally before writing it

P.E in Early Years is taught weekly by the Sports coaches, every child has 2 hours of PE. The children also do the Mile and Trim trail twice a week to

develop their gross motor skills. PE is also taught through outdoor learning and fine motor skills are in daily continuous provision through topics.

We offer a parent workshop on how to support fine motor skills at home, the parents have a talk with the EY leader and receive a pack to support

their child’s learning at home. They also get 1 hour to spend with their child completing some planned fine motor activities to enhance their learning.

Reading in Early Years

Reading is taught discretely daily through RWI lessons, but is also seen though daily continuous provision using topics. Every child is given a home

reader which is changed a least once a week. All children are listened to reading with an adult at least once a fortnight. Children are given High

frequency words to practise reading at home and these are also flashed weekly at school during snack time. We also use the 1000 stories initiative

where parents can borrow a book daily to read to their child.

We offer a parent session on Phonics with the Phonics leader and Early Years leader to explain how RWI is taught in reception and parents are given an

information booklet and pack.
