Welcome to the course

Hello everyone, glad you have found your way here :) There is lots of information for you to see. Come back and check regularly as we go through all the different topics. I am so glad you all enjoyed the fieldwork weekend and I have booked again for next year for AH ! The coastal photo I took on Sunday - can you recognise the feature ? See you soon.

All over

Well done everyone you survived to the end of the road ! Hope work experience is going well and I will see you next week ready for the start of Advanced Higher :)

Hope you like this photo taken last week during IIS fieldwork.

Plan ahead

Evening all,

Hope you have had a good day. DO leave yourselves plenty of time to get to school tomorrow - it is so windy just now that there may well be trees etc down so plan ahead. Remember my watchwords of planning and being organised.



Have some time off tonight and I will see you first thing to keep you calm.



Chesil Beach

Miserable and wet

What a miserable wet morning - just the kind of day that makes you want to stay warm and cosy and revise !

Key words are a good help to spur the mind - use that geographical terminology properly.

Effective revision today please (if you are not doing Physics). See you tomorrow.

What should we have a photo of today

Well - I will see if I can find a soil picture later on. Hope revision is progressing steadily along with your Physics & Chemistry - not too long now until they are all over and you wil be free to have some spare time !

Remember short effective half hour bursts are better than 3 hours of vague reading. You should be able to condense what you have learnt in half an hour down to a few mind maps / words/ phrases. Hear me speaking to you !! Get some fresh air , quick walk round the block or in E's case a quick two mile run ( sorry km run we don't use miles now in geography !) .

I will see some of you when in for Physics tomorrow.

Take care - ask your mum to cook you a special Sunday lunch / tea.

P.S. Icelandic volcanoes erupting again - different one this time

Sherbet sweeties

Never mind the revision - good news - I now have 2 bags of sherbet sweeties ready to share with you on Tuesday !

With the physical features be sure you know examples of both erosion and deposition for both coats and glaciation. On Paper 1 you may not get much of a choice, for RLR you probably get more of a chance to choose the examples you wish to include BUT read the question carefully it may say erosional features only ( or depositional features only).

Find short ways of remembering the key points - remember the hand diagram for within countries.

There may be chance for a quick game of Geoguno from 8.00 onwards ??? What other subject could have you playing games just before your exam ??

Despite the hard graft now do remember

GEOGRAPHY IS FUN :)

Coastal photos today - do you know where ?

Check your emails too in case I have inspiration about something !
