I’ve added a wealth of material to the pre-release page, some of which we will be using this week.
I’ve added the usual pre-release PowerPoint, a link to a Teacher’s T.V. video about the future of Antarctica, the Extreme Environments revisions notes (you should have a copy, if not see me), a document about the uses/exploitation of Antarctica and the potential consequences, a PowerPoint about our chosen physical processes and a grade or no grade game. 
I would particularly look at revising at least one of the physical processes, you should be able to draw and annotate a diagram if asked.

Not had a particularly pleasant day, though no-one caught me out. Your shoelace is undone isn’t original. 
I watched a good form assembly by a colleague this morning about April Fools’, including the famous Panorama crank. Thanks Alan for this.

Despite the credit crunch, I was searching the Internet today for mortgages. I noticed an interesting new account by H.S.B.C. aimed at migrants to the U.K. .What does the image tell us about the nationalities that are coming to live in the U.K.? Can you guess them all? Of course, H.S.B.C. is also a good example of a multi-national corporation.
Also some interesting bits in the news. Nottingham has been slated again for its burglary rate, someone should tell the students not to have their laptops in the bay windows of their rent houses. Also it looks like a major calving event is going to happen in Antarctica.
Year 11 are reminded that their multi-media presentations are due this Friday.

In the Observer today, which you might want to spend a little time reading. The first is about the exploitation of Krill in Antarctica. The second is about food miles, the issue is somewhat more complex than people believe. Of course, Year 11 will understand this

This is the one that Tom has talking about, Extreme environments advertising a well known beer, on the website they describe the environment as Arctic Tundra, but it clearly has echoes of Captain Scott.

A great set of Landsat images have been released of Antarctica, read more about the story here. Will be interesting to view these in Google Earth. A nice set of resources on the site as well.
