Websites and Resources

There are lots of ways to make geography exciting and engaging for children and one of the best ways of doing that is through investigation and enquiry.

Here are some websites and resources that may help you to support your child’s learning at home!

 

Digimaps is an excellent tool that can be used to help children to explore their locality as well as looking further afield. There are lots of tools on the website which allow children to investigate time zones, aerial and Ordinance Survey maps, postcodes, distance (including radiance), historical maps and much more.
