Olympics 2012

It's me again! It has been a long time since I updated properly. I have recently downloaded a blooging app on my iPad at school, so I am going to try and blog a bit more often. I'm not sure how many people read my blog but it's a good place to keep links of useful pages etc.

So, my attention has been drawn to this video on the BBC all out the Barcelona Olympics in 1992. You could say it is about the good, the bad and white elephant!

It is an interesting watch, and we can only hope that London 2012 won't suffer the same fate of producing a £9 billion white elephant! I'm sure we won't, but interesting none-the-less.

Year 9 homework - mapping poverty

In class you hve been creating your own chloropleth maps and you have been analysing them.



Your homework this week is to use this map and answer a 4 mark exam question. We will mark it in class next lesson.
Figure 1: Proportional map showing the proportion of all people living on less than or equal to US$2 a day.

Question: Using figure 1, describe and explain what the map shows. (4 marks)

Hint: Absolute poverty is defined as living on the equivalent of US$2 a day or less. In 2002, 43% of the world population lived on this little. This money has to cover the basics of food, shelter and water. Medicines, new clothing, and school books would not be on the priority list.
When almost an entire population lives on this little, it is unsurprising if undernourishment is high, education levels are low, and life expectancy short. In both Nigeria and Mali, 9 of every ten people survives on less than US$2 a day. South America has a relatively small poor population, yet 39 million people have less than US$2 a day in Brazil.

Year 11 volcano work today....

Year 11s did their first lesson about volcanoes today... Their challenge was to draw/brain storm what they knew already! These are the results.... They then had a lesson learning about shield and composite volcanoes and tomorrow will have an exam question to test them! Good luck and well done girls!
