3. Your books. You will be given an A3 exercise book and a green folder. Cover the green book with a map and add your name sticker on the outside. Then cover it with sticky plastic. Attach a name sticker to the green folder. The green folder is to keep sheets in.

In the front of your book you should glue the following page. Your teacher will give you a trimmed copy to put in your book. You should carefully glue this into the INSIDE front cover of your book. Do this when you are covering your book so that you make sure it is visible. You might need to glue it on, after the book has been covered. Glue it in carefully, strongly and safely.



4. Ask the question. "Where are we?"

Once the basic introduction has been completed, pupils can work on a title page for their books that contains aspects of geography, which includes just about everything! They should, however, try to use their imaginations and think about where geographical thinking might be most useful in the world. They could write geography on the front facing page and illustrate around it. This can be an ongoing finishing off exercise up until half term. Tell them to take time with it and draw carefully coloured drawings, maps and illustrations. Tell them it should take weeks to finish and not to rush.
