At Booker Avenue Infant School, we aim to provide children with an amazing experience discovering the world, the way it works and how we live. A range of topics and locations are taught through the Geography curriculum beginning with discovering the world around us in the EYFS, to exploring the local area in Year 1, to identifying capital cities of the United Kingdom and key landmarks in Year 2.
Throughout our school, all children are introduced to History, the concept of time and historical events in a number of ways. This includes finding out about the lives of significant people and events from the past both within and beyond living memory. Children will listen and respond to stories and use sources of information to help them ask and answer questions and acquire a broad knowledge and understanding of the people and events which have shaped the world we live in. Children will develop an awareness of chronology and the passing of time, acquire subject specific vocabulary and will use a variety of sources in lessons to develop their knowledge and skills as a historian.
