Megaflood: The recent deluge could be just a taste of things to come…

The Daily Mail has an article about the future flooding of London and the conditions that brought it about, those of you who are familiar with the 1953 floods will note the similarities. Interesting reading, particularly as your next module will be about floods.

Interesting comment…

From Peter Hitchens in the Daily Mail today

The ridiculous Blair creature could have had anyone he wanted (well, not me actually) to dinner at Chequers.

The giants of arts and letters, philosophy and science, geographers who could have explained to him where Iraq was or historians who might have outlined what happened at Suez.

Anybody. But he invited radio super-oaf Chris Evans.

I suspect that he chose Evans after his aides gently explained to him that Homer Simpson wasn’t a real person.

The B.B.C. has a article about a new film based on Richard Doyle’s book called ‘Flood’. Timely, with regards to recent events, the film is set in London as a storm surge approaches, the article also has a trailer, which looks interesting. The film is due to be released in August.

Read an interesting post by Dave Stacey on classroom displays, which led me to this Flickr group showing images of classroom displays, some great practice on show. This also lead me to the classroom display blog by Linda Hartley.
