Do you want to get extra house points? An interesting video for year 7 and 8.


I am posting a very interesting video for year 7s and 8s.
As we are studying with year 7 "settlements" at the moment and "ecosystems" with year 8, this video could be useful for both to understand issues related with our units.


Year 7s, this is a good example of the opposite story of settlements. We know already that settlements were created by humans and they have been growing since then, but... What would a world without humans look like? Press play and enjoy!!!


Year 8s, this is another good example for our unit of ecosystems. We have been talking a lot about different types, and we focused in two; the tropical rainforest and tundra. Well, this video shows you what type of new ecosystem we could create if humans vanish from the earth's surface. 


If you want to get a big bunch of EXTRA HOUSE POINTS... you must think about where you live and what would happen to it in a month, a year, 10 years, 100 years and 1000 years time. Write your answers into your exercise book.  You can include photos of your area and annotate to show what may change. (if you have photoshop or any other photo editing software you may want to show the effects of these changes – don’t worry if you can’t do this)

    1. I give you the option to explain the evolution through different periods or just to pick up one period and explain it. It is up to you. I am glad you are interested and working so hard in Geography. Well done!

    1. Hi Paula! That is great! I am glad you want to improve your knowledge in my subjects. Well done!
      About ways to improve your grade in History..... you have got the answer before hand. You must pay attention in lessons, do not talk at all during the lesson time and study more at home. Following these steps (you knew them anyway) you will get the best grades ever. ;-) Thank you for join us here and for your feedback. You are always welcome here.

    1. Hi Paula 2! ;-) As I said to Miss Gimaré, the best way to improve your knowledge and grades in History and Geography is based on your own effort, work and behaviour. Thank you for joining us and really looking forward to see you around. :-)
