Geography at Luston and Shobdon
Geography Lead: Lizzie Jones
We teach geography to inspire children to become curious and fascinated about the world and its people. It is a vital subject to support children in understanding different cultures and ways of life. Children will learn about diverse places, people, resources and natural and human environments, together with a deepening understanding of the physical and human processes. When teaching Geography, in line with the National Curriculum, we use a range of resources and activities including but not limited to; fieldwork, maps, pictures, videos and technology to develop their knowledge, understanding and interest in the world around them.
