Physical Landscapes Revsion

Here are some revision notes which should be of use to all of you S3 and S4's looking for some help with Physical Landscapes. The notes cover both rivers and glaciation. They mention the main features that you may be asked about. They also contain information on land use in upland glaciated areas. All very important stuff. Happy revising.

S1 Weather and Environment Fieldwork

Today a select group of S1 pupils made the most of the fine weather and headed out with Mr Goodfellow to study the grounds of the school. They looked at the different weather conditions around the school, including the changes in temperature, wind and pressure. They also surveyed the environment at various locations around the grounds. The results were then processed and an excellent poster was produced. This was all done in under 60 minutes. A big well done to everyone!!

The poster is now on display in the Social Subjects corridor for you all to see. There is also a picture of it attached below.

Keep an eye on the blog for some future follow up work on this fieldwork.

S2 Montserrat Volcanic Eruption Role Play

On Wednesday 18th March 2GE2 took part in a role play, based around the events of a volcanic eruption. This lesson is based around the excellent idea and resources produced by Noel Jenkins through his Juicy Geography website. Mr Rafferty was kind enough to video the events and the edited highlights and his comments can be seen below.

Mr Rafferty said afterwards, "In Geography I saw an excellent lesson where pupils worked in groups on a
real-life scenario challenge. Mr Goodfellow was good enough to let me record the
lesson. In the video you will see an excellent lesson showing examples of cooperative learning/collaborative team
work. Pupils worked in teams of 3, as vulcanologists, to come up with
real-life solutions to the threat of an imminent volcanic eruption. The
learners were certainly active and worked with a real sense of urgency, and
purpose. Pupil engagement was kept very high by an excellent balance of
activities. The lesson was thoroughly prepared and well-organised
throughout. Mr Goodfellow's use of IT to enhance learners experience was also very
effective. Mr Goodfellow's mild mannered approach to de-escalating issues is also
very interesting to watch."
