GEOGRAPHY

=**ECOSYSTEMS AND BIOMES**=

=This term you will be working as part of a team. You will produce part of a wiki (like this one) describing Ecosystems. You will be responsible for the information and pages about one Ecosystem in the wiki. Your audience is year 6 pupils. You will be working on this in both ICT and Geography.=

== Geography Lessons: You will learn how ecosystems work, how they are structured, what pressures they are under and how we might start to manage them. You will look in detail at one ecosystem during geography lessons and will be given an introduction to the other main biomes listed in lesson 1. ==

You will be told the lesson's learning goals each week. However, this is a project you will be working on for the whole term, so it's a good idea to understand what you will be learning.
