Year 8s...Weather and Climate
We just began a new unit about weather and climate. I have just explained some basic information about weather and we will explain some other key aspects about it too. All the information is going to help you to understand much better what is happening now in USA. Have a look to this link and you will notice the importance of learning geography in the school to understand what is going on around us.

Year 7s...History Sources
We have been talking about the meaning of sources in a few lessons during the first term. We said that sources are the clues that tell us about the past, for example, about how people used to live, or what they did or thought. And we created three categories: documents, pictures and artefacts.
Here you have a link with information about Roman gold coins found in UK... so we must include them in one of the three categories.If you want to get house points, you must work a little bit during the weekend and for the next lesson bring me an answer where you explain in which category it must be included and write in your exercise book a brief summary of the web article.

Year 7 ... Geography MAPS!!!!
Dear Year 7s,
I hope you find Geography interesting, I know you are noticing lots of changes from primary to secondary, but the sooner you get use to the changes, the better. During this first term I am teaching you about making and mapping connections and trying to teach you how to develop geographical skills and tools that you will use in the future. We have learnt about plans, scales, mental maps, sketch maps, real maps, grid references, OS maps, measuring distances between two places on a map, following directions, compass directions, etc
Here you have a very interesting link with information about maps. You can understand this information better as we have explained most of the information in our lessons. Do you see the importance of learning different subjects in the school? :-)
