Geography - Year 1. Key Question: What is the geography of where I live?

The primary aim of this enquiry is to introduce pupils to what geography is all about – a paradigm that underpins all of the investigations throughout this primary programme. Geography is the study of the interrelationship of people with the environments with which they interact at a variety of scales and locations. This sets geography apart from any other discipline and arguably, geography lies at the heart of all major challenges and opportunities that the human race faces today, be it population migration, climate change or realising the potential of new energy sources.
