Children learn through engaging with their environment and construct new knowledge by relating their experiences to things that they already know.]]> 2017-01-01 20:27:19 UTC https://padlet.com/helen_hollwey1/si1owjrjc40l/wish/144943735 lucieann8 https://padlet.com/helen_hollwey1/si1owjrjc40l/wish/146044273 I think enquiry is an important part of geography because it shows pupils the relevance of geography in the real world. This will greatly increase pupil motivation. Furthermore, they will get to find out information for themselves which is more meaningful than if they were simply taught facts.]]> 2017-01-09 16:55:37 UTC https://padlet.com/helen_hollwey1/si1owjrjc40l/wish/146044273 https://padlet.com/helen_hollwey1/si1owjrjc40l/wish/146280856 All Geography should include aspects of enquiry. Enquiry within Geography is an active way to learn, promoting questions, actively engaging with their environment and relating it to everyday life. Enquiry can encourage understanding of Geography through children reflecting upon their experience. ]]> 2017-01-10 15:34:24 UTC https://padlet.com/helen_hollwey1/si1owjrjc40l/wish/146280856 https://padlet.com/helen_hollwey1/si1owjrjc40l/wish/146325667 Using enquiry within Geography is important because it allows children to take ownership of their work, engage and be involved in the collection of information. They can link this new knowledge to the real world. Enquiry makes tasks more meaningful and interesting. ]]> 2017-01-10 17:38:38 UTC https://padlet.com/helen_hollwey1/si1owjrjc40l/wish/146325667 https://padlet.com/helen_hollwey1/si1owjrjc40l/wish/146339193 Enquiry is important in all subjects if they are to be taught effectively. Enquiry in geography allows children to understand the world around them and their environment by linking this knowledge to real life experiences. By asking questions, the children are developing their knowledge and understanding on their own.]]> 2017-01-10 18:19:26 UTC https://padlet.com/helen_hollwey1/si1owjrjc40l/wish/146339193 https://padlet.com/helen_hollwey1/si1owjrjc40l/wish/146352916 Enquiry is an important part of Geography as it allows children to ask and answer questions. They can explore different areas of Geography such as the environment, in depth, and form their own opinions. This therefore makes what they are learning more meaningful and it is more likely they will remember what they have learnt. ]]> 2017-01-10 18:58:05 UTC https://padlet.com/helen_hollwey1/si1owjrjc40l/wish/146352916 https://padlet.com/helen_hollwey1/si1owjrjc40l/wish/146353103 Using enquiry within geography lessons enables children to have discussions which will allow them to ask and answer questions. In having these conversations with each other, they will gain a deeper understanding of the topics they are discussing. This allows the children to take a more active role within the lesson, therefore making it more exciting and enjoyable.]]> 2017-01-10 18:58:36 UTC https://padlet.com/helen_hollwey1/si1owjrjc40l/wish/146353103 https://padlet.com/helen_hollwey1/si1owjrjc40l/wish/146385998 'Children learn through actively engaging with their environment' - this means they are engaged and interested with the learning, whilst receiving a first-hand experience.]]> 2017-01-10 20:38:30 UTC https://padlet.com/helen_hollwey1/si1owjrjc40l/wish/146385998 https://padlet.com/helen_hollwey1/si1owjrjc40l/wish/146410229 Geography benefits from an enquiry based approach as it allows children to take ownership of what they are learning, therefore allowing the subject to be relevant to them as opposed to, being something they do just because the teacher says they should do it.   Geography particularly suits this approach as it allows children to explore their local area as well as the wider world and make sense of it in their own way.]]> 2017-01-10 23:31:47 UTC https://padlet.com/helen_hollwey1/si1owjrjc40l/wish/146410229 https://padlet.com/helen_hollwey1/si1owjrjc40l/wish/149553370 The enquiry based approach in Geography should be a constant feature. It allows children to explore their environment, whilst questioning and exploring. Enquiry gets children interested and actively engaged with the topic, promoting a love of learning and curiosity. ]]> 2017-01-26 11:28:20 UTC https://padlet.com/helen_hollwey1/si1owjrjc40l/wish/149553370 lucieann8 https://padlet.com/helen_hollwey1/si1owjrjc40l/wish/150302579 I think teaching pupils about their locality is very important because children need to develop a sense of their own place within the world. They should also be involved in investigating local issues and creating solutions to them. This will provide pupils with a deeper understanding of issues and also help them understand the positive impact they can have. ]]> 2017-01-30 16:55:19 UTC https://padlet.com/helen_hollwey1/si1owjrjc40l/wish/150302579 lucieann8 https://padlet.com/helen_hollwey1/si1owjrjc40l/wish/151687669 Stick Man by Julia Donaldson

I think this would inspire geography because pupils could create a map which shows Stick Man's journey across the world. It could also help them understand the purpose of maps because they could draw a map which shows Stick Man the way home. ]]> 2017-02-05 20:53:04 UTC https://padlet.com/helen_hollwey1/si1owjrjc40l/wish/151687669
