Geography is for children from junior infants to sixth class. The curriculum enables children to make sense of their surroundings and the wider world. They do so by developing a range of geographical skills as they explore the natural and human elements of local and wider environments.
The 3 Strands of the Geography Curriculum are
- Human environments
- Natural environments
- Environmental awareness and care.
