Corridor: A long passage inside a building that people walk along to reach different rooms.
Playground: An outside area at school where children can play, talk, and take a break.

What are the main parts of a school building for KS1 geography?

In KS1 geography, children learn to name parts of a school such as classrooms, corridors, the hall, the office, the library, the dining room, and the playground or field.

Why are corridors important in a primary school?

Corridors help people move safely between rooms. They link classrooms, the hall, and other areas so pupils, teachers, and visitors can walk in an organised way without disturbing lessons.

How can KS1 children learn the different rooms and areas in their school?

KS1 children can explore school areas by going on a guided walk, using simple maps or labelled photos, talking about what each room is for, and playing quizzes like this one.
