I’ve now updated the teaching and learning newsletter page , as well as uploading our newsletters for the first and second part of the Autumn half-term. Autumn issue part.1 has been edited to remove the personal details of new staff. All documents are now PDF files.

Thank you for all those that have contributed, including our external colleagues.

We are happy at K.H.C.T.C. to have contributions from external colleagues that will inform our practice.

As always, any comments are welcome.

Have a happy holiday season and a successful New Year.

Sorry about the lack of posting, over the last two weeks I’ve been suffering from an illness, which is why I was absent for one.

Best wishes for the Christmas holiday, wishing you all a successful and happy New Year.

Finally, a quick Christmas question… what has the image go to do with Christmas? Click on the image to find out.

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.

Your last piece of coursework in this unit is to produce a storyboard in PowerPoint focusing on a case study of a coastal flood, which effected a L.E.D.C. country. You need to research the 2004 Asian Tsunami and its impact on Sri Lanka. Adam asked me whether I will put together a support page, I will attempt to do this when my head stops spinning over the coming days.  There is a wealth of good material on the event on the net, especially photographs, so I expect to see some well annotated diagrams and images, please remember to keep a bibliography.

Remember in this piece you will need to explain the causes, impacts and responses to the flooding, but you will also need to explain why Sri Lanka ,as a L.E.D.C. country,would take longer to recover. A good way of doing this is through development indicators.

You may have realised that I’m ill and not in College at the moment, despite this your flooding coursework Part.2 still needs to be handed me in electronic form by Friday 14th of December. I would prefer work via my external address because my internal one is looking a bit jammed with work to do…

Please do not leave work on my desk, I can’t physically accept it and if it becomes lost I have to observe the default position that it hasn’t been handed in.

Please remember, no work, no mark.

If you have any concerns please contact me a.s.a.p.

Option 1 group have their tourism research to complete for Friday. Sorry I’m not at College to help you, this post though outlines the task and provides some useful links.

On my travels today I picked up Billy Bragg’s (personal hero) ‘The Progressive Patriot’, his response to what it means to be English. A good little read to inform My Place and our next unit on Cultural Geography. Some nice discussion of place.

Billy Bragg is best know for his song writing and political activism. One of my favourite songs and one of his most known…

Thanks to the individuals 103 individuals that have downloaded the Cyclone Sidr resources, a special thanks to those that have said ‘thanks’ and Alan for his efforts in advertising them over the last week. I will leave them for another week.
