Year R

EYFS linked to Geography.

Geography can be linked to nearly all of the Early learning goals and can be discretely explored. This will in turn help develop children’s knowledge of their direct environment and their place in it. This will support development in the Characteristics of Effective Learning.

This will happen through key factors such as forest school activities.

Early learning goals in Understanding the World are linked very closely with geography outcomes and will be taught through child interests through out the year.
