At Corpus Christi, the Geography DREAM Curriculum uses Primary Connected Geography to teach the National Curriculum Objectives for Geography. It uses enquiry based learning that involves our children in making sense of new information and constructing geographical knowledge. 
Carrying out three enquiries a year, each enquiry has a main enquiry question. Within this enquiry, the topic is taught and explored through a set of ancillary questions that develop the knowledge, skills and understanding of the topic, through discussion, investigation and examination of evidence and sources. Each unit of enquiry is progressive both within the unit itself and across the units as a whole curriculum.
The Corpus Christi Geography DREAM Curriculum gives the children chance to hyphothesise, classify information, compare and contrast areas and analyse findings, placing exploration and discovery at the heart of our approach.
Geography lessons include Flashback 4 questions at the beginning, which assesses the children's previous knowledge from within the topic and from previous knowledge, checking starting points and ensuring progression and success, embedding knowledge into the long term memory, to be used across the topics.
As part of the DREAM Curriculum offer for Geography, we use maps and technology to help the children build a solid picture of the world around them. We recognise the importance of fieldwork and giving the children the opportunity to work with multimedia and resources to cement understanding and develop an appreciation for the planet.
