Gower September 2008

I would just like to congratulate all members of Year 11 who attended the three day Geography residential fieldtrip to the Gower. Their behaviour was impeccible and their attitude to work was first class. Well done guys and gals! It was a pleasure!
Now lets crack on with the coursework - don't forget it is worth 25% of the GCSE mark.
You can do it!

For information, we use the West Glamorgan Guide Activity Centre in Parkmill on the Gower. We highly recommend the facility.

Play Statetris

Statetris is a game that combines aspects of the popular game 'Tetris' with 'Geography'.

Instead of positioning the original Tetris blocks, you position states/countries in their correct location. Fun, challenging and educational! What more could you want?

Thanks to Miss Blackmore and Miss Ellis for bringing this to my attention.
