Geography

Our aim in the Philip Morant geography department is to inspire in students a curiosity and fascination about the world and its people that will remain with them for the rest of their lives. We aim to offer our young people an interesting, engaging, relevant and cumulatively challenging curriculum, which will provide students with the valuable knowledge, and equip them with the intangible skills, which will support them in the next stages of their lives.

How can I support with Geography at home?

To support the learning in school in Geography you can look at what what topic they are doing each half term and create an interest in that topic, you could do this by doing an activity connected to that, for Italy for instance you could look on the Sky News website as they have a particular section on Italy or you could simply have a Pizza! For Geo-politics watch the news or read a newspaper and discuss current affairs or for Brazil and the Rainforest make some artwork that represents Brazil or have your own Rio carnival.

For Key Stage 3 you can practically help them by testing them on their spellings at the end of each half term.

For Key Stage 4 you can encourage them to do their weekly homework and again having an interest in the news and where countries really benefits the students, simply looking at a map to know where countries are, you could even turn it into a quiz if you are competitive.
