  1. Welcome to the GA Conference We ♥ Geography!A self-indulgent journey of discovery EY–KS2 Anthony Barlow, Senior Lecturerin Primary Geography,University of Roehampton anthony.barlow@roehampton.ac.uk

  2. Aim: Sharing what’s special about our geography and discovering our own ‘geographies of difference’. Build up a patchwork of resources that you can take away that will enable you to share your own geography with pupils and staff. Enjoy and learn from each other about our personal, private geographies.

  3. Using your senses... Please write on the post-its why you love geography. The smell of... The sound of... The sight of... The touch or feel of... The taste of... If you need inspiration, use the postcards and pictures.

  4. Where does this fit in? The “essence of building a motivating and effective primary geography curriculum” is one that focuses on working with children "not on behalf of them, or to them, nor ignoring them” (Catling, 2005,p.340) Everyday or ethno-geography (Martin, 2006) Importance of enquiry (Roberts, 2003) We need to work out where they are coming from!

  5. Geographical games a type of classroom activity that provides students with opportunities to learn 'through experience (and through subsequent reflection on experience) rather than by the processing of information through more didactic means… to grapple with ideas based on their own experience and on discussion with their peers, rather than being told about the ideas' (Walford, 1987, p. 79).

  6. We’re all unique... We’re all Geographers!We all have unique, personal (and private) Geographies! The places I have been The place I avoid Me! The people I know The place I fear The place I hide away The clothes I wear The food I eat The places I visit regularly The place I live The family I have The place I hide away The place I love The place I was born The place I have ended up! We need to capitalise on these with children!

  7. What’s your geography story? Learn about each other’s personal geographies. Globingowww.bournemouth.ac.uk/about/the_global.../fairtrade_step1b.doc Ask and answer each of the questions.

  8. Building a vocabulary for geography A-Z of geographical places game. Lay out the pieces. Can you name a place, building or feature? England, Scotland, UK, Europe, Northern Hemisphere, Africa, North America. Extension: Look at a series of pictures. Think of a fieldtrip, visit or location. Eg. your journey to Manchester. What features did you spot in them? Google: Geog vocabulary ks1 www.st-thomasmore.leicester.sch.uk/.../GEOGRAPHY/

  9. Let’s be out and proud about our geography!

  10. Geo literacy : geography cubes for vocabulary building • Make themed cubes: place-specific: local/city/country-specific, people, landscapes. • Use with vocabulary lists or A-Z alphabet cards for pupils to mark off. Children can design their own – based on their walk to school? • Use with the Storm enquiry questions, 1989 (cited in Halocha, 1998 et al.) What is this place like? Why is it like it is? How is it connected to other places? How it is changing and why? What does it feel like to be here? Based on : http://www.geo-cube.eu/ http://www.geo-cube.eu/downloads/geocube_makeyourown.pdf
