Various updates for those out in Geography Land...

Congrats to Alice in 7L, winner of the first picture competition of this term. Well done Alice, your answer to the picture question: Anak Krakatoa was correct!

For those who check back here regularly you'll notice that the YouTube box on the left hand side of the page has changed again. This week's new hot topic in videos is the Global Water Crisis. Something Mrs. Mitchell is very passionate about is alerting all those out in geoggersland of the issue of getting sustainable, clean water supplied to everyone around the world. I came across this wonderful video of American rapper Jay-Z bringing to light this growing problem. Check it out:

Also, there was an enlightening documentary on the Discovery Science channel the other day called A World Without Water. I've found the same documentary on Google Video today and its really worth a watch. Just follow this link for A World Without Water. The water crisis is especially significant this year across the entire Key Stage 3 curriculum kiddos, so get yourself educated on this issue!
