I felt we had an excellent lesson today, but Ofsted would say it had no progression! We started off with a subverting of Pingu, basically questions popped up during a Pingu episode, the infamous drunk one! Just a fun little recap really. If any colleagues would like a look just let me know.

Then we listened to two clips from Michael Palin’s visit to Antarctica, and discussed some of the things we would like and not like about visiting the area, more to come tomorrow!

I then did a little recap of why the continent is so cold, remember, continentality, differential heating, albedo and thickness of atmosphere. Any one who was away should read this post.

Finally, we did a little exercise describing the Antarctic winter and summer, it messed with my head anyway This will feed into my cover work, whilst I’m enjoying Berlin.

Just a little preparation for tomorrow’s lesson, which will include why Antarctica can be classed as a desert and a little bit of the image on the right.  A nice article here if you want to do some additional reading.

Very tired!
