Geography
Intent:
At Burnham on Crouch Primary School we strongly believe that children should feel connected to the world that they live in. We aim to inspire our children with a sense of curiosity and fascination for the world and its people. We are driven by the need to prepare children for life in a diverse and multicultural world as well as developing a love of lifelong learning. The teaching of geography aims to broaden children’s geographical view of the world whilst equipping them with knowledge about diverse places, people, resources and natural and human environments. It gives them the chance to learn a range of skills which they can use throughout their life. The geography topics have been carefully chosen to reflect the demands of the National Curriculum. Through each two week block and key stage children build upon their prior knowledge, develop their curiosity and embed essential knowledge into their long-term memory.

Bikeability Course 3! Well done to our Year 6 children! #bikeability
STEM part 2: Year 5 took part in our first STEM Enrichment session on 13th September. The theme of the day was: Witches and Wizards. The children attended Potions class during the morning where they carried out a range of experiments and then made ice cream and lemonade. Care of Magical Creatures was next , where the children designed, using a CAD programme, and made bird perches for Hedwig using woodwork skills.
Here are some comments from the children:
“I enjoyed it so much.” Mia
“It was so fun” Jack
“I loved it!” Ava
“It was really exciting.” Sienna
“I had a truly wonderful time.” Daisy
“ I want to be an engineer.” Rosa
“I love STEM!” #stemeducation #psqm
