Year 7s ....Glaciers
Dear year 7s. We have been talking about glaciers in our last topic in geography. We have been discussing different aspects about them, their physical features and many key words about the landforms and processes. In the last lesson we did talk about their importance in our planet and the problem wwe are facing with global warming. Here we have a newspaper article talking about it to show it is not science fiction. You might click on the link and read a little bit more about it.

Geography in Key Stage 4 (year 10 & 11)
Dear parents and students of year 9,
I have got some requests about information a little bit more in detail about Geography in year 10 and 11. So, I have decided to make a brief summary of the important information to pay attention about this subject and posted on here. You may find this information and other, in the "portal de comunicación".
KEY STAGE 4 – YEARS 10-11
1.Aims
In Key Stage 4, students in Montessori Mataespesa/Fresnos will be prepared for the International General Certificate of Education exam of the University of Cambridge Examinations Board (IGCSE), Syllabus number 0460. The aims are therefore the same as those specified by the exam board and are summarised as follows: -
1. To develop a sense of place and an understanding of relative location on a local, regional and global scale;
2. To develop an awareness of the characteristics and distribution of a selection of contrasting physical and human environments;
3. To develop an understanding of some of the processes affecting the development of such environments;
4. To develop an understanding of the spatial effects of the ways in which people interact with each other and with their environments;
5. To develop an understanding of different communities and cultures throughout the world and an awareness of the contrasting opportunities and constraints presented by different environments.
2. Syllabus outline
All students will follow the same teaching syllabus, based on the exam syllabus.
YEAR 10 (Physical Geography)
1. Plate Tectonics, Earthquakes, volcanoes, fold mountains, rift valleys, natural hazards and human response.
2. Weathering and mass movement
3. Fluvial processes and associated landforms, flooding, river pollution, water resources – uses, competition and conflict
4. Marine processes and associated landforms, coastal flooding, coastal pollution, and coastal management
5. The collection of meteorological data and factors affecting climate
6. Tropical rainforests – climate and vegetation, plantation farming, small-scale subsistence agriculture, deforestation and global warming
7. Deserts – climate and vegetation
YEAR 11 (Human Geography)
1. World population distribution and density. World population growth, the concepts of overpopulation and carrying capacity. The demographic transition and variations in world population growth. Pro- and anti-natalist policies. Population structure, population pyramids. Population migration – causes and consequences
2. Settlement site, situation, pattern, morphology, function and growth. Settlement hierarchies and spheres of influence – shopping patterns. Urbanisation and associated problems. Urban land use models and comparisons between MEDCs and LEDCs. Inner cities and their redevelopment, ribbon development, dormitory suburbs/villages, green belts. Rural-urban migration in the LEDCs and shanty towns
3. Employment structure
4. Farming – changes in commercial and cash-crop farming
5. Energy – significance of different energy sources, acid rain, the siting of power stations
6. Industrial systems - motor vehicle assembly, high technology industries
7. Leisure & tourism

5. Assessment
No assessment will be made of the students’ notes but assessment will be based on IGCSE style questions and the grades awarded will be equivalent to those that would have been obtained by the student under examination conditions bearing in mind the stage in the course. There will be tests at the end of most teaching units and formal examinations in June of Year 10 and in January of Year 11. All students will enter for Paper 1, Paper 2 and Paper 4 (Alternative to Coursework).

Year 9s OPTIONS TIME!!! Is Geography for me?
Dear year 9s
As you get closer to narrowing down your options, I have received some questions from pupils asking me about next year. Most of you are a bit excited and nervous about what to do and choose for year 10 and 11. Well, it is difficult for me to give an individual answer for each of you, for that reason you should think about a few things, and you can read them all down here. This applies just as well to any subject, not just Geography.
Step 1: Most important - do you enjoy it?
If you enjoy a subject you will work harder and be more attentive. That will lead to a happier couple of years, and a better grade at the end of it. If you enjoy several subjects, go to step 2...
Step 2: Are you good at it?
If you have several subjects you enjoy, think about which ones you are best at. Remember though, that if you haven't done well recently it doesn't mean you won't do better next year, especially as the people in your group will change which may help you concentrate better. If you are still struggling, go to step 3...
Step 3: The Department
If you haven't made your decisions based on Steps 1 and 2 (and even if you have), take a look at the department you will be working in. Every subject has huge strengths, and you need to decide which are appropriate for you. In last year's IGCSE exams, most of our Geography students at Montessori School Mataespesa got a grade C / B - and many A or an A*. Is this something that is important to you? You can also think about the classrooms, access to past papers, and the staff - but see the word of warning in Step 5!
Step 4: What will you study next year - is it interesting?
If you still can't decide, get details from other IGCSE students in the Options Meeting on Thursday 5th of November about the course you are going to study. You might find Geography more interesting than you thought - from global issues like climate change and fighting poverty, right down to why you live in your house and why there isn't a cinema nearby, geography is an interesting subject. Remember also that some new subjects that sound fabulously exciting might not turn out the way you think they will. This brings us on to the next point...
Step 5: The teachers
You might want to study with the same teacher for the next two years. Or you might want to get away from one you have at the moment! :,( But don't let this be something that influences your decision to do any particular subject. Remember that teachers are unlikely to teach all the groups in your year for IGCSE, and even if they do, in all subject areas teachers move on from time to time. Mr. Vallely and "myself" Mr. Legaz.... we are very busy every year and last minute subject changes may occur.
Whatever you decide, make sure it is the right subject for you. The Geography Department naturally wants you ALL to do Geography because we think it is the most important subject you could take (where else will you learn about global warming, rainforest destruction, shopping patterns and coastal erosion?) but we also want you to make the right decision. Ask us at any time if you want more advice.
Here you have some videos. The first one is from a school in UK giving you reasons to choose GEOGRAPHY as IGCSE. I will try to publish some other videos on here to help you with your final decision. Show them to your parents so you make the right choice!!!
Remember.... we have two meetings with teachers and students of year 11 in Mataespesa to give you more information. (November the 3rd and 9th)

World Teachers' Day 2016
Yesterday was the World Teachers' Day, even if we did not celebrate and we did not get any kind words or recognition within the school, it is nice to know the reasons behind this special day. International Teachers Day held annually on October 5 since 1994, commemorates teacher organizations worldwide.The United Nations' (UN) World Teachers' Day celebrates the role teachers play in providing quality education at all levels. This enables children and adults of all ages to learn to take part in and contribute to their local community and global society. I just hope you appreciate the hard work all teachers put on their work in and out the school area and their teaching hours.

Just a reminder about the video we have been talking about in our lesson of development.
Here you have it, just in case you want to watch it again.

Welcome..... back!
Dear students,
As I do every September, I would like to take this opportunity to welcome everyone back for the start of the 2016 – 2017 school year. Although I’m sure everyone hates to see their summer vacation come to an end, there is always a certain air of excitement about the start of a new school year. We did not even start yet and here you have some information about our 1st term. Hope you find it useful and it will be all explained the first week we see all each other. Click on upper tags to know more. But anyway... most of you are more or less familiar with new timetables, rooms, books, and teachers.
It is going to be a challenging year for us all (students, parents and teachers), with many different issues to deal with academically or not, in and out the school.
For that reason we all must make an extra effort in our own responsabilities, being supportive to each other.
- Students, I expect you work hard, study a lot, following school rules as you know them already.
- Parents, I know and appreciate your support and understanding of the hard work of teachers and special conditions we are going through at work. So, I give you all my biggest thank you in advance.
- Teachers (myself) As a teacher I understand the effort all of you (parents) are making to send your kids here and I will do my job as professional as ever to get outstanding and best academic results with every single student I am responsible in every subject, group and lessons I teach.
Ok, enough is enough... time to say bye for now.
I just wish you the best of luck to you all this year.

Summer letter 2016
Estimados padres y alumnos de “Geography” en year 7A, 7B, 8A, 8B, 8C, 9A, 9B, 9C, 11 y “History” year 7A & 7B :
Como cada año cuando llegan estas fechas, me gusta comunicarme con vosotros para agradecer vuestro apoyo y trabajo desde casa. Este año ha sido otro curso largo y duro en muchos aspectos, y no sólo en lo académico. Agradezco vuestro reconocimiento y apoyo durante todos estos meses.
Espero disfrutéis de un buen verano y merecido descanso. Como cada año, recomiendo se siga en contacto con actividades relacionadas con la lectura y repaso de conceptos aprendidos durante el año. Algunos estudiantes de “year 7, 8 y 9” han recibido un “summer-pack”. En los comentarios de las notas he puesto quien debe hacer el trabajo de verano. Son actividades de repaso para aquellos que han suspendido o han aprobado pero creo que necesitan reforzar la/s asignatura/s de cara al curso que viene. No olvidéis traerlo hecho a la vuelta de vacaciones y entregarlo en la primera semana como “year 8, 9 ó 10”.
Aquí tenéis un enlace con las instrucciones por si han perdido la documentación que he entregado a los alumnos.
http://mrlegaz.blogspot.com.es/2016/06/summer-work-2016-geography-history.html
También espero que este verano descansemos y el sol nos recargue a todos de energía para así empezar el nuevo curso con fuerza y energía renovada.
Un abrazo y gracias una vez más.

Dear Parents and Students of "Geography" in year 7A, 7B, 8A, 8B, 8C, 9A, 9B, 9C, 11 and "History" year 7A & 7B,
At this stage, like every year, I like to communicate with you to thank you for the support and help provided from home. It has been another long hard year in many ways, not just academically. As usual, I really appreciate your support and understanding during all these months.
I hope you enjoy a great summer and deserved rest. Like every year, I recommend you follow up with reading-related activities and review of concepts learned during the year. Some students in "year 7, 8 and 9" have received a "summer-pack" already, it says on the report the students that must do it. They are summer activities for those who have failed or they are at the edge and I think they need to strengthen their knowledge in my subject/s for next year. Please, do not forget to bring it done in September and hand it in the first week you are back to school again, as year 8, 9 or 10. There is a link here, just in case the students with the summer work have lost their documents and information.
http://mrlegaz.blogspot.com.es/2016/06/summer-work-2016-geography-history.html
I also hope that this summer we rest a lot and we enjoy the sun, so we will be back to work with renewed strength and energy.
Regards and thank you very much one more time.

Europe Day - 09 May 2016
On 9 May 1950, Robert Schuman, the first President of the European Parliamentary Assembly, presented his proposal on the creation of an organised Europe, indispensable to the maintenance of peaceful relations.
This proposal, known as the 'Schuman declaration', is considered to be the beginning of the creation of what is now the European Union. Today, 9 May has become Europe Day, which is the occasion for activities and festivities that bring Europe closer to its citizens and the peoples of the Union closer to one another.
Although it was yesterday..... Let's celebrate it together everyday!
