Dear Year 9, 10 and 11.

The programme that is on BBC 1 tonight at 9pm is an easy to watch programme that will help you with your studies this year. Year 9 you will be studying a unit called Pole to Pole - this will give you some info that may help you! Year 10 and 11 you will be studying a unit called Extreme Climates at somepoint soon, this series will help you understand a little about colder climates and may give you some good basic knowledge following on from the Pole to Pole unit you studied when you were in year 9!
