What will I study in Year 7?
Students study three specific ecosystems, a hot and a cold environment and the tropical rainforest. A trip to Kew Gardens is offered to complement this unit in the Autumn term.
The summer term of year 7 focuses on weather which features fieldwork in the school grounds followed by the topical issue of climate change.
In addition, there is a strong focus on map skills throughout the year.
Core knowledge is vital to your long term learning in geography.
The booklet contains the essential knowledge we would like all year 7 students to have by the end of the year.
Wider reading list
The geography department recommends widening your knowledge of the units we are studying during year 7.
The list provides some suggestions to get you started.
We would love to know if you read any of these books or have any more suggestions to add to the list
