How to make Primary Pupils Think Like Geographers

This workshop will explore lively and engaging ways to bring National Curriculum Primary Geography to life for teachers in key stages 1 and 2. In this CPD, we will explore the wonder of Geography and consider what it means to see the world through a geographical lens. We seek to support teachers to develop knowledge rich, progressive curriculum opportunities that promote geographical vocabulary and value geography enquiry approaches. We will share a range of teaching and learning ideas for developing children’s knowledge of the world, meaningful map-making and creative fieldwork. This workshop will include practical, hands-on ideas to foster children’s curiosity and fascination in their local area and beyond, with attention to geographical thinking and rigour.
