Developing space and place: helping young children connect to the world around them
Thursday April 17, 2025 9:00am - 9:50am PDT
207
This workshop explores how teachers can use what's familiar to children to help them gain a deeper understanding of the wider world. It will provide a variety of teaching ideas to help children make connections to gain knowledge of 'space' and 'place' between EY and KS2, as well as time to share and develop current practice.

Empowering tomorrow's geographers: bringing links to life
Thursday April 17, 2025 11:30am - 12:20pm PDT
Young people are important citizens, shaped by the geographies around them and with the power to shape those geographies – but do they recognise this? The fieldwork ideas shared here help pupils recognise the connections that exist in our world and draw on cross-curricular links to show how their lives and local area are connected to these wider geographies.
