Geography

GEOGRAPHY

at Alwoodley Primary School

Children learn Geography through first hand experiences in real life settings!

Geography is challenging, motivating, topical and fun. In our diverse society children need, more than ever before, to understand other people and cultures. Geography makes a major contribution to children's physical, intellectual, social and emotional development. In short, geography matters!

makes them feel. We used their responses to make a word cloud.
