Good web site!

Pathway to success!

Well done to all of you who took part in the Celebration evening last night. Build on the success of Year 10 & you will have a great year. The class of 2008 will be fantastic!

Kenya

Why do tourists visit Kenya? What impact might this trip have? On the environment? On people? On the economy? Good or bad?

Create a model set of case study notes & learn carefully.

Grassington Maps

I have uploaded all of the maps here. They have been scanned & saved into one word document. Copy what you need into a fresh word document or whatever you require. I will sort out how to orientate the surface graph using Excel. If you want to do coursework at lunchtime them Wednesday is the 'formal' workshop day, but one of the Geography teachers is usually in room 48 at lunchtime, so pop along.

The class of 2008: Coursework!

The data & some of the maps required for the Grassinton coursework completion are available on K drive & by following these links to 4shared.com, which is a file sharing site.

Fantastic!

Just in case anyone should call in here, well done! The GCSE Geography results are the best in school in terms of a*-c grades, and they are the best GCSE results overall that the school has ever had!

Time to move on!

The class of 2007 have left -hopefully most will return to do A level Geography in September -and it is now time to do a little housekeeping & re-establish the blog as a place to support quality learning in Geography for a new cohort of students. This is a welcome to the group I will inherit from the wonderful Mrs R. who goes on leave to produce a new little geographer!

All of the 'posts' to date refer to our 'old' EDEXCEL A specification, however many of the them will be relevent to your learning & so will stay & may be linked to. You are encouraged to visit often! I will post at least twice a week, linking to the lessons & at other times. Documents (WORD & Powerpoint) will be available via links to 4shared.com or slideshare.net & you are welcome to make your own copies to support your learning.

I will occasionally set homework based upon material or links posted on the blog & if I am ever absent I will support the sub lesson with a blog post. Develop a blogging habit!Explore the other Boston Spa Geography blogs & some of the other fantastic Geography blogs that exist.
