Geography
The youngest children see the world egocentrically with themselves at its core. From birth, places play a central role in our existence and it is this sense of learning about place that lies at the heart of Geography at The ºìÐÓÊÓƵ.
Our children inhabit an increasingly multidimensional world. The world which we adults call “the real world” is constantly changing, leaving each generation to experience a new and vastly different world to that of their parents.
Initially through play and by investigating different environments children begin to broaden their experiences. From venturing around the School campus to eventually taking field trips off site, their learning of place; of making journeys to locations for a purpose; of becoming aware of distant countries from the news and from friends helps to broaden their perspective of the world in which they live.
It is in the gaining of this perspective that the teaching of geography is at its most effective for the youngest children.
