For some reason I find waterfalls difficult to teach about. Thanks to Amy Foster who has made a pop-up version task.

I’m sure there isn’t much OFSTED winning progress, but I just like the effort that has gone into this piece.

We’ve become all arty and poetic… about rivers…

Inspired by a Victoria Ellis Enya backed movie, we got in touch with our humanist side and produced poems about rivers.

Here are three student contributions.

Myself and the students would really appreciate feedback.

Week.1 in my classroom- KS3

Sunday, September 20th, 2009

KS3 Geography has been a little more pedestrian, year 7 I’m working on new transition materials, so started by looking at different maps and what they had in common, we then drew maps from memory of our home area. I’ve now added a transition page to Radical Geography.

In year 8 will started to look at rivers, I use Victoria Ellis’s rivers introductory video (Nice bit of Enya..) as a starter, we then produce a poem entitled the ‘River’. Reminds me that I want to record some of them and put them online- one for this week to try…

In year 9 we started weather and climate, we considered the difference between the two terms, and then began to produce maps of the average summer and winter temperatures across the British Isles. Good traditional stuff!
