Welcome!

Ok, this has been running for a little while now. I have added all sorts over the last couple of years. Please feel free to recommend links/information to me that I can add - I'd like to get students involved in the up-keep of it to make it more student focused.

I will keep adding things as I see them!

I hope you enjoy, let's see how this goes!

Welcome back... :)

Hi!

Its been a long time, i know! Since you last heard from me we had our 6 weeks summer holiday... Ireland, Spain and France were my chosen destinations this year and I had an awesome time! But, 2 weeks back at school, a stinking cold has struck and tirdness for all has set in! But, above all that I have had some fantastic lessons!!!!!!!!!

Yr 9 are studying the equator - check out Eden TV if you have sky - it is Simon Reeves season!

He has done some great work and travelled to many many places that I can only dream of going!!!!!!

Year 8 are looking at the Geography of our stuff and recently looked at all the countries a laptop is made and assembled in - our information told us it was 18 countries for 1 laptop!

Yr 7 are studying festivals - nearly finished learning about contour lines! It is model time - I will post some pictures of the best!

Year 11 are doing coursework - they were fantastic on thier trip and behaved fab... Ms Sanders and myself really were proud of the work they completed on the day and the fact that they walked about 5 miles in total and really only complained in the last 1/2 hour!!!!!!!!!!

Year 10 have settled in well - we are a small group this year and have started the new GCSE - lots of information but they are coping so far!

So, that's it for now... I will endeavour to update and post up more information asap!

Hope this finds you all well
