Geography

Exploring with your child

Here are some key geographical enquiry questions, which you might want to use when talking about places to your child:

• Where is this place?
• What does this place look like?
• What links does it have with other places?
• Who lives there and why?
• What is it like to live there?
• Is the place changing and if so, why?
• Why do people visit this place?
• What journeys do people make?
• What do people do? (occupations, leisure)
• What do you feel about this place?

It’s also useful for your child to have access to a globe or atlas at home and for them to explore places on websites like Google Earth with parental guidance.

Happy exploring!
