Geography

Here at St. Dominic’s, our principal aim is to provide a high-quality geography education that will inspire in children a curiosity and fascination about the world and its people that will remain with them for the rest of their lives. Our teaching will equip pupils with knowledge about diverse places, people, resources and natural and human environments, together with a deep understanding of the Earth’s key physical and human processes. As our children progress, their growing knowledge about the world will help them to deepen their understanding of the interaction between physical and human processes, and of the formation and use of landscapes and environments. The intent for geography at St Dominic’s is to deliver the National Curriculum in an engaging, exciting way. Scroll down to find out more about how we do this! 

Spring Term - '24

Reception

Reception have explored seasonal change and the impact this has on God's planet. We have used different materials to create a pictorial representation of how our seasons change and what it looks like.

Year 1

Year 1 have been learning about weather and climate. After learning about the seasons of the year, the children investigated how we forecast weather and what each symbol represents. The class split into groups to create and present a weather forecast for a mystery season which the rest of the class were to guess. 

Year 5

Year 5 have been learning all about Volcanoes, focusing on the positive and negative impacts that they can have to our environment.
