Geography
Opening Worlds
At Hatton Hill, we know that our children learn best when learning is carefully sequenced and allows children to make connections between subjects. We also know the importance of quality texts and images which extend children's knowledge and vocabulary so expanding their view of the world. For this reason, we have adopted Opening Worlds. This knowledge-rich humanities programme for teaching history, geography and religion, places a high emphasis on all we hold important. The story-telling approach engages children whilst taking them on a carefully planned and sequenced learning journey with global and cultural breadth, embracing wide diversity across ethnicity, gender, region and community. Prepare to be amazed by what your children will learn and know!
Year 3 geography, builds foundational vocabulary and spatial awareness. Core topics include climate and biomes, agriculture, mountains, rivers, and human settlements, deeply intertwined with history and religion.
Our Intent and Impact (I&I) sheets below list the questions we want children to be able to answer once they have completed their learning. They also highlight key vocabulary which children must learn.
