Holiday Homework

Year 9 have a rather interesting piece of work from the UNHCR which is a game where you work your way through various different scenarios that a potential refugee might face.Against all Odds an interesting and worthwhile exercise to while away a few hours over the half term.

Year 10 are particularly stressed over their IGCSE maths exam so the only holiday homework that I am setting is to ensure that all notes are fully up to date and in order so that I can check and mark them the first week back after the holidays.

Actually I lied about the no homework bit, I am obsessed with collaborative thinking at the moment and feel that this is the best way forward to enable year 9 and year 10 to work together and effectively pick each others brains without having to sit in a classroom together. To this end you are all invited to a party..... at my wall!

You are to post a question that you want answering about tectonics and an interesting fact that you know and want to share with like minded Geographers. This could be the start of something wonderful, you never know! All you have to do is click on the site below and follow the ensructions, you can even post photographs or video clips to make it more exciting.
