This exciting weekly course covers a complete geography academic curriculum in a fun and interactive way. Learners will become immersed in the wonders of geography through fascinating facts, quizzes, experiments, art and craft, worksheets and much more. Geography can help us understand the planet’s movement, changes and systems. Topics that are relevant to today such as climate change, water availability and natural resources are much easier understood by those who know geography well. It also puts history in context. It helps us see the why, when and how of what happened in history. Studying geography helps us to have an awareness of a place. All places and spaces have been shaped by humans, earth and climate. It gives a meaning and awareness to places and spaces as well as helping learners with spatial awareness on the globe. Understanding direction and where things are in the world is still a vital skill, despite having easy access to this information online. More and more, we are a worldwide community — joined by causes, conflicts, business and families. Geography matters today more than ever because our learners are growing up in a globalised world. The study of geography opens up learners' awareness to what is around them locally and globally, and the connectedness of people within those places. This knowledge can help them think critically about the world as they become the world's government, business and family leaders of the future. Geography teaches us about our differences, but also about our similarities which can help us all to be better global citizens. Whether your learner is home schooled or you would just like them to explore a broader curriculum than most schools offer, this course will take them on an epic journey from the beginning of time and space, through planets to underwater habitats as well as into volcanoes and earthquakes. My goal is to inspire them to become lifetime learners with a thirst for knowledge. They will have the opportunity to develop their skills in understanding, communicating, empathising and analysing at an age appropriate level. Learners are welcome to choose the topics that they would like to study - please let us know when booking a class. Topics available are as follows:- Super Space! * The Big Bang!

Learning Goals
Locational knowledge
- locate the world’s countries, using maps concentrating on their environmental regions, key physical and human characteristics, countries, and major cities.
- explore key topographical features (including mountains, coasts and rivers), and land-use patterns; and understand how some of these aspects have changed over time.
- identify the position and significance of latitude, longitude, Equator, Northern Hemisphere, Southern Hemisphere, Arctic and
Antarctic Circle and time zones (including day and night).
Place knowledge

Human and physical geography

* physical geography, including: climate zones, rivers, mountains, volcanoes, earthquakes, and the water cycle.
* human geography, including: types of settlement and land use, economic activity including trade links, and the distribution
of natural resources including energy, food, minerals and water.
Geographical skills and fieldwork
- use maps, atlases, globes and digital/computer mapping to locate countries and describe features studied.
- use the eight points of a compass, four and six-figure grid references, symbols and keys to build their knowledge of the world.
- use fieldwork to observe, measure, record and present the human and physical features in the local area using a range of methods, including sketch maps, plans and graphs, and digital technologies
Other Details
Learning Needs
The class is taught by a teacher who is very experienced with children who have learning needs. We ensure that the lessons and worksheets are inclusive. We can also adapt learning materials for specific needs if required.
Parental Guidance
Worksheets that require any cutting out will be posted in the classroom at least a few days before the lesson with a warning that cutting out is required. This gives the parent the option of cutting out for the child before the class. If you would like your child to complete the cutting out themselves then please ensure that they are supervised appropriately when using scissors.
Supply List
All materials for each lesson will be posted in the classroom at least 24 hours in advance. Learners should print out the class worksheet and bring it to the lesson so that we can complete it together. They should also have a supply of basic stationary such as paper, pencils, crayons, scissors and glue.
