Happy New Year

Welcome back geographers one and all - It's always nice to start a New Year, I find it's the time when I'm most focused, and I put in place my goals for the year. Being prepared is half the battle in everything! Part of that battle is having an overview of where you are going, maps are important in every part of life ;)

Year 9. 

An intense, focused and fun 5 Months for you. Controlled assessment will be wrapped up before the end of January and then you will be heading into the second part of Extreme Environments (Mountains) and Similarities and Differences (Urban and population Geography). Friday Study Sessions after CA will be covering Fracking (an energy issue - very appropriate for me to moan about as I just got my electricity bill) and immigration.

Be prepared for revision homework each week as we will be crushed for time!


Year 10

Leaving behind the human geography of  Global citizen (sad for our human geographers, great for our physical geographers) we begin 6 weeks of Fracking! I'm looking forward to this (quit calling me a nerd).
This will be followed by some overall revision where we will be building the foundation for our target grade (you all know we are going to smash those right?) but it does mean fun with highlighter pens and cards.

Then the Controlled assessment begins, sorry you didn't think it was going to be all sweetest and light right?

Year 11

Very similar to year 9, but you need to make sure you are focused on revision - you know a lot of the content and skills, you just need to make sure you are applying yourself. And ask your friends from last year if any of them kept their geography books!
