This is a lovely presentation of London, for Year 10 you might want to consider whether this presentation is a true representation of place? Is Year 11 is this a true representation of dominant culture?

Google Earth has now updated its imagery of the continent, the new higher resolution images just confirm the isolation and extreme nature of the environment. Worth a peak, look out for Nunataks, Glaciers, Ice Shelves, Pack Ice and Pancake Ice.

Japan has also decided not to hunt 50 humpback whales in the Southern Ocean for ’scientific’ reasons, but will still hunt a 1000 whales of different species. This is despite a moratorium on hunting. Another example of how our extreme environment is used/exploited by humans.

I’m feeling awful and should be marking Stringy’s RE mock, but thought I would do a little blog post instead. The Ilkeston Geographers decided on AQA as our new A-level syllabus, for the new sixth form… looks interesting. Content looks like it will reflective the Pilot. We should be able to provide more information on the course on Wednesday night, both myself and Mr Thompson will be delivering the course. Please feel free to express an interest. Yes, there was talk of an Ilkeston Geography website and blog.

We have heard from our friends in Bangladesh, all is well…. I’ve now marked Year 11 coursework, the Severn case study, and Year 10 Option 1 Wanda. I will be giving feedback when I next see you. Year 11 Geographers are reminded that their next piece on sustainable flood management is due in on Friday 14th of December.

Just a gentle reminder that Year 10 Option 2 need to hand in their Wanda coursework on this Friday.

Also picked up a link to a Geography blog that was new to me, Ayrshire Geography, one north of the border and another to add to the feeds.

Right me mocks, you revision/coursework…..
