1. 1 Hi I am Lindy and we are here to do geography and history Not that good an impression, but close-ish)

2. 2 Our wiki http://ysgol-rhyngrwyd.wikispaces.com/ It is called: Ysgol Rhyngrwyd KS3 Geography I will put copies of all the documents we use But there will be other things in the wiki too – links to quizzes and games – links to interesting stuff for you to look at. There is also a blog at http://lindym.wordpress.com/ http://lindym.wordpress.com/ Called Coach House Geography – it is where there are all interesting things that are happening right NOW

3. 3 What we will be doing The year will be divided up into 7 units and each year group will develop these unit more each time! Unit 1: Intro (very short): Introduction and maps. Unit 2: Environmental conditions: Weather, climate and ecosystems Unit 3: The Human Situation: Settlement, population and development Unit 4: Changing Earth: About what the earth is made of, volcanoes, earth quakes and how water sculpts the landscape Unit 5: Working World: About the jobs people do, International companies, aid and Fairtrade Unit 6: What are we doing to our World? The rain forests, climate change, energy sources Unit 7: Is it sustainable? A chance to look at the current news to see what is changing and what needs to change, linking to what has been leant over the year – maybe revise a little!

4. 4 So for the next 2 weeks, we will be looking at Unit 1 Unit 1: Lesson 1: The signs and symbols on large scale local maps – the kind of maps you use to go for walks. We will also learn how to find which square some is referring to. Unit 1: Lesson 2: A bit more about maps – pinning items down to an exact spot – useful if you are using GPS. Also about how height is represented on a map, and how you can tell if you should be walking on a slope or on the level

5. 5 Maps symbols and finding them on maps Like road signs?

23. 23 There is a farm in 5771 – what is its name? In which square is Greet? Can you give any squares that have symbols you now know?

24. 24 My homework! Starting in 5772 at the church with a tower(1), I keep to the minor road(2) and go South. I km past Whitton, I turn Right and south along a footpath(3). I pass an ancient monument(4), Stoke Court, before I join the another minor road that goes to Greete. As I join it, I walk downhill towards the stream(5), Stoke Brook, before going uphill again. At the top of the slope is a radio mast(6) on my left and there are power lines(7) running parallel to the road on my right At Villa Farm there are some orchards(8) In Greete, I go over the cross roads, past a telephone box(9) and up to the chapel(10) and end my walk in 5770 My task was to note 5 symbols on the way – I did 10!!! I had to start and end with a 4 figure reference I had to give 2 directions I had to mention going up/going down once – I did it twice
