In Geography at Spring Bank Primary School children enjoy asking questions and finding out about different places in the world.

In Key Stage One children learn about Headingley and the city of Islamabad in Pakistan. They begin to use resources such as maps, photographs and ICT to find out about the environment in these two areas and the people who live there.

In Key Stage Two pupils investigate different places in the world through studying the topics of weather, St. Lucia, rivers and mountain environments. They learn about physical features eg. the different parts of a river and human features eg. how settlements change. They also learn how people affect their environment in different ways eg. by reducing water usage. Children find the answers to the questions they pose through using resources such as maps, atlases, aerial photographs and ICT.
