Welcome to Geography at St Ivo.

This first unit of work is designed to introduce you to geography at Secondary School and to equip you with some of the essential skills you will need throughout your time here. You will begin by looking at the use of globes and atlases. You will then practice these skills, brushing up on your knowledge of where places are by going on a satellite journey, starting at a global level and ending up looking at the key geographical features of the UK.

So fasten your seatbelts and off we go!
