- have an interest and desire to investigate a variety of human and physical characteristics of different places, both local and afar
- make sense of their own surroundings and locality by understanding the interaction between people and the environment
- develop the geographical skills and vocabulary necessary to carry out effective and purposeful enquiry
- enable children to work geographically in a range of appropriate contexts, using a variety of materials and equipment
- look at maps and globes with understanding and fascination
- be respectful, worldly citizens with an appreciation for the different challenges faced by the global population
- care about climate change and ecosystems
