Year 11 Coursework deadlines

11PAN. Section A (Introduction to Llandudno and Urban Models) is due in on Friday October 2nd.

What are the different plate margins?

Year 10 pupils explain the different kinds of plate boundaries...destructive, constructive and conservative margins. This was the first lesson in year 10 and some pupils were a little shy, they will no doubt improve throughout the course.

Remember that you can add comments by clicking on the 'comments' link at the bottom of the post. But be nice.

How (not) to measure Velocity...Anglesey Stylee...

Featuring James Brown, Matthew Eyres and a little yellow duck.

Gorgeous Geography...

Mr Perry (closet geographer?) has found this blog www.gorgeousgeography.wordpress.com. It has now closed with no new updates but has some superb resources. I would like to think that this blog will fill the void left by it's closure (one lives in hope). I have added the hyperlink on the right-hand side. Have a browse, especially year 10 and 11 pupils as the revision powerpoints look good.

Ask Briggs...

Stuck with your work? need inspiration? Then log onto the VLE and use the AskBriggs forum. Jack Briggs in Y13 is an encyclopedia of knowledge and will try to answer your geographical question. If he can't (doubtful) then one of the teaching staff will.

To log onto the VLE you need your username and password. Your Username is always your full name e.g khs_johnsmith. Your password is 'password' unless you have re-set it.

Mind Map Basilicata LandSlide

Coursework Club

Every Wednesday until half-term in U34. Come and get help from PAN, MKT and CST with any part of your coursework. Drag your non-geography friends along and they can get on with some work whilst you complete the important stuff...

Mapping From Memory

Year 10 winners...Josh, Cameron, Alex and Lawrence. Well Done with this great attempt at drawing a diagram of the structure of the earth from memory. They just beat Jake, Ryan, Aidan and Dave.

From small acorns...

...grows world domination? Steven Hewins became the 10th follower of the blog as its growth mirrors that of an East Asian tiger economy in the late 1990's. Congratulations to the first ten members who will now be known as the 'famous ten' . Two members have profile photos but this behaviour is just worrying. You all win a trademark elbow patch to be worn in the name of geography.

All Year 11 pupils (11PAN 11CST 11MKT and 11PAN Short-Course) will visit Llandudno on Friday 11th September for their GCSE coursework. Please return the payment and medical form to J. Allen in the Humanities office ASAP.
