Kobe Earthquake 1995
I know this example is fairly old and I am working on a more recent version for the Italy Earthquake but the resources were kindly sent over by the other Miss Udy and really were excellent! So firstly an extended thanks...... Miss Udy (the other one - I am a twin and she is a geography teacher also!) your work is being enjoyed by many girls here! :)
Year 7 - you will need slide 5 for the information.
The link for the video is as follows:

Flash floods in the Sheffield area have blocked roads and caused at least two school closures.
Scary Planet - year 7.
Although we won't touch on flooding much, the scary planet scheme of work is all around us! You will find earthquakes, volcanoes and flooding appearing in the news often.
Check this link out from today's news....

Tube Stikes...
Have they affected you or your family? Geography really is around us... surfing the internet this evening I stumbled across another map that shows who stayed at home, who cycled or walked to work instead and who used public transport.
As year 8 and 9 are well aware maps are an important aspect of Geography, year 7 are beginning to use thier map reading skills more and more!

Blood, Sweat and Takeaways....
Year 8 will be familiar with the above slogan.... for the rest of you - blood, sweat and t-shirts may be familiar!
Last term we studied the Geography of my stuff - we looked at both food and clothes.
The 4 programme series of blood, sweat and takeaways was once again held with 6 young British people from across the country with varying opinions on cheap food and the food industry.
We are spoilt for choice, and I wonder how many of you visit the chicken and chip shop on your way home, or how many of you love prawns, or how many times a week we all eat rice that may have come from south-east Asia?
This programme shows the 6 youngsters catch, harvest and process food products we take advantage of every week. Tuna, Prawns, Rice and Chicken industries are highlighted, but we know this is only a small proportion. The 6 yougsters eat, sleep and live with the food workers from Indonesia and Thailand and experience the real life these people live. The average wage is around £3 per day. Could you survive on that?

You can catch them on the BBC iPlayer for another 7 days.... my advice.. go check it out!

Quiz....
Hurrah! It's official. I am a Geography Geek - well according to a non geography geek that is!
Today appeared on the BBC news a link to a quiz - 7 questions found on a GCSE Geography paper.
Go check it out... see if you can have a go! I did get all 7 correct - my housemate was there to see!
Also, year 11 had the final GCSE Geography exam..... I would like to say well done to you all. I am sure you all did well and that it was a pleasure (most of the time anyway!) to teach you! Fingers crossed you all get the results you are hoping for!

Enjoy the quiz! Please write a comment with your scores... parents, students, friends! Would be good to hear what you got! :)

Start of the last summer half term!
Good afternoon,
Today saw the first year 11 exam - the DME. I managed to catch up with most of the girls at the end and most were happy with how it went! Hopefully that is a good sign... half the GCSE is now complete (25% DME and 25% coursework!) so well done girls!
Year 7 are finishing off Scary Planet and will be moving onto Coasts.
Year 8 are finishing off Geography of sport and will do a few lessons on Energy and being Climate Cops!
Year 9 have started a unit that carries across all the humanities subjects called Peace, Power and Protest. We will be looking at the Geography of Conflict, mapping it and finding out about causes as well as the Art of Peace!
Year 10 as ever continue to make me laugh with their babble but are doing great and just finishing off Tourism so hopefully we can get out on our fieldwork before the summer hols for our coursework!
Thats the update for now.... I will continue to update as and when I can so keep your eyes peeled! :)
