Forgot to say

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

Good afternoon





























































Sunny afternoon - ideal for some Geography revision. What are you concetrating on today ? I am thinking of you :) Detail, detail and more detail with examples. H are you doing questions to time - if not you should be ! Have been marking some questions for some of you - good work. Remember to use those correct geographical terms - be precise and hear my voice - move on after 15 mins on Paper 1 / 35 mins on Paper 2.




Keep calm and have a break over the weekend too - make a cake or something relaxing !!



Will try and find a nice Malham photo ( or 4 ) for you.

Hello everyone
















Hope Maths went ok yesterday for you. With your revision over the next few days don't forget to learn the details for those 20 mark questions on Paper 2. They can have a big influence on your grade. You know your named examples just be sure to use them :)

The photo today is of the Easedale valley in the Lake District - a glaciated example for you - look at the land use.


Keep calm and eat properly !

Unit 3 NAB

We will start population tomorrow next to last topic ! - then just sand dunes.

You all did well on Paper 2 (despite some misreading of questions) so bear in mind the same things for the NAB. Look at the number of marks available for each section and READ the question properly. Get your timing right ( especially H !)- 45 mins for a NAB. Draw diagrams and label fully.

Keep calm and I can go over any questions / queries tomorrow.

Wonderful photos


















Hello everyone. I thought you might like to see these photos taken from the top of Cairngorm and across Loch Morlich yesterday in wonderful weather.
Hope the revision is going well. You have all worked well and the main thing you need to do is keep calm ! The format is exactly the same as your past papers from 2008 onwards.
Paper 1 - 1 hour 30 mins 4 compulsory questions ( 2 human, 2 physical) worth 18 marks and 2 further questions worth 14 marks - you will have a choice for the physical but not for human as there is one topic we have not yet completed.

Paper 2 - 1 hour 15 mins ONLY answer Question 1 and Question 6 - allow 35 mins for each - make sure you get to the last part of the questions as they can be worth 20 marks - look at past papers to see what I mean.
I will be in school on Tuesday ( so pop your head round the door when you are in for your first exam) or email either school or the other email address you haev if you need help. Deep breaths and READ the question very carefully and ensure you include your case study examples.
See you on Wednesday Deep breaths !
Sorry about the format - I can't get the text to move properly and now need to cook lunch !
