Ning!

You have all heard of myspace, bebo and Facebook, well now become a member of ning! Ning is another 'social network' site that allows people to communicate through the internet. I have recently set up a 'ning' for the Geography department in our school.

It can be found at www.abblanchgeography.ning.com

As pupil safety in my number 1 priority on the internet, this social network is by invitation only membership, therefore allowing me to decide who can and cannot join. So far the 'ning' has mainly been aimed at sixth form students but I would like to roll it out across all years. I have collected some email addresses for Year 9 pupils and will hopefully move towards other years soon. In the meantime, if you would like to join the abblanchgeography ning then send me an email BARLOW@blanch.org.uk with your name on, I will then send an invitation to your email.

Take part in the Geography social network. Dare you miss out!

Year 10 - Waterfall Models

Year 10 have begun their GCSE by studying river processes and landscapes. As their studies moved along the course of a river they begun to identify specific featues that occur along the course of a river. This led us directly to the formation of waterfalls. After looking at the main processes that lead to the formation of a waterfall, they worked as a group to create four models to demonstrate this

Here are the fantastic results!

The "River Song" hits Number 1!

Year 10 are about to hit the charts with their very own "river song"! Inspired by Mr Wilkinson armed with his Ocean Colour Scene CD, the girls were asked to come up with the lyrics to write a song about the formation of a river meander! The creative minds got to work straight away and the lyrics are now on paper. The recording session starts next week so listen out for the finished song. Available for download soon!!

The girls relaxing after an inspirational session writing the lyrics to their future hit!! The rubbish is deposition, not a messy classrrom. Honest!
