Dear Yr 11 Geographers

Pre-Release Info! If you're sick of the revision then take your time to revise whilst having fun! A link to an awesome video on the rainforest can be found here and is great for providing an overview of rainforest biodiversity, food webs and uses of the rainforest.

Enjoy :)

Dear Lovely Geographers,

The pre-release this year is on rainforests, deforestation and a proposed road through the Peruvian Amazon. 

If you fancy doing a bit of wider reading around the subject then the following news articles may be of use:

It is also going to be super important that you attend the revision session on rainforests running week beginning the first of April and complete the tasks for that week. 

It's a smashing topic to have the pre-release on, we're hopeful that the paper is going to be a good one for you all.
