Beech House children start their geographical explorations in
the familiar surroundings of their own homes and local area. Later,
they look at more distant environments - in the British Isles
first, then in the wider world. They learn geographical skills such
as simple mapping of routes or making plans using aerial
photographs. Using the internet to research other places and
cultures adds to the excitement and wonder the children feel when
discovering new information.
Children in Year 1 visiting other parts of the United Kingdom
with their parents and those in Year 2 visiting other countries are
invited to take Barnaby Bear with them and to record Barnaby's
experiences in words and photographs. Barnaby has climbed
mountains, played golf in Scotland and flown to Lapland.
I love learning about Kenya because my Dad was born there.
