=Welcome to the Lions and the Margays=

Before we start:
During this term you will have a couple of practical homeworks - and for one in particular, you will need a few odds and ends. Could you be on the look out for the following, please?
 * 4 or 5 identical small straight sides containers - they could be yoghurt pots or small jars or plastic drinks bottles (but the need to be straight sided )
 * a supply of cereal packets type cardboard
 * some reasonably strong glue
 * Some thick thread or light, smooth string
 * a garden cane or similar
 * an outdoors thermometer

__**Lesson 1**__ is all about what geography is about and what we look at and think about in geography lessons. You will be thinking about where you live and how it is similar to other places and how it is different. **Homework:** **Some people cannot see the map on the homework sheet so I have added it here**
