Geography

Geography is a key element of the Knowledge and Understanding strand of our Extended Curriculum. It develops knowledge of places and environments throughout the world, an understanding of maps, and a range of investigative and problem-solving skills both inside and outside the classroom.

Topics include knowledge and understanding of world geography, major cities, states, countries and continents as well as the human and physical characteristics, races and cultural diversity.

The geography curriculum at BISM places emphasis on learning through being practical and creative, and pupils enjoy activities such as making a working model of a volcano or conducting surveys to record relevant geographical data.
