This text explores the need for children to understand the modern world and their place in it and the ways playful opportunities can be created for children to learn how to think geographically, to solve real-life problems and to apply their learning in playful and meaningful ways to the world around them. "This is a book which is excellent on many different levels. It sets out a broad vision of geography as a learning journey which will take today's pupils to the final decades of the present century. The text is well structured and underpinned by a clear sense of values and purpose." - Dr Stephen Scoffham, Teaching Geography "I look forward immensely to using this book. Anne Dolan and all the schools ho contributed to this wonderful book are to be commended for their vision, commitment and hope to make teaching geography personal, political, and powerful." - Paula Galvin, INTOUCH "This book stands as a ground-breaking contribution to the teaching, learning and researching of primary geography education. It aids educators to reflect critically on their own practices, current global and local issues, and how these can be addressed meaningfully in their future educational practices. It should make for essential reading for all interested in geography education, climate change education, sustainability education and in education which positions children's agency and action to the forefront more broadly." - Joe Usher, Irish Educational Studies
