Geography is a vital and rich contribution to a balanced and broad curriculum which enables children to develop a thirst for knowledge about the world around them. Through Geography, we trigger investigative thinking and allow children’s minds to reach beyond their classroom. By teaching Geography, we intend to impart pupils with the knowledge, understanding, confidence, attitudes, values and skills they need in order to reach their potential as individuals in Geography, their local community and the wider world.
At Bricknell Primary School, the teaching of the Geography curriculum has been carefully considered to enable our pupils to become inquisitive geographers. Using the National Curriculum, our highly skilled subject leader has carefully worked to create a Curriculum Overview Document which demonstrates the sequencing and mapping of their subject to ensure our pupils are given the acquired skills and knowledge to further their education journey into KS3 and life beyond the classroom.
Our aim is to provide inclusive and aspirational environments and learning experiences where pupils thrive and build the cultural capital they need to make aspirational choices about their own futures, overcoming any barriers. In order to achieve this, our curriculum is underpinned by the principles highlighted in our Aspiration Curriculum.

3RY had a wonderful walk to Walton Street, the home of #HullFair, to locate some human made features and perfect our compass points #BPSGeography
I think the excitement & cheer that came from outside Cooplands was louder than some of the ones that come out the MKM 😄
RRA had lots of fun on their walk this morning, searching for signs of Autumn.🍂🍁🍃 #BPSEYFS #BPSGeography

Year 2 had a great day yesterday exploring the village of Welton. We compared the different features of a village and a town and had lots of fun. #BPSGeography
In #BPSGeography, 4RS were using maps and the internet to plan routes to cities from Hull. Using road names, junctions and compass points they showed what great navigators they are. Well done!
NSS have enjoyed learning about The Little Red Hen. The children have sorted the animals into farm and wild animals, discussed what jobs happen on a farm and compared quantities, identifying when each amount is the same. #BPSEYFS #BPSScience #BPSGeography #BPSMaths 🐓
