7 billion and counting .... What do you think? Is the world overpopulated?

Here we go again!

Wow, another school year is upon us.  Lots to look forward to : we've got a new Geography room for Miss Hughes, 2 trips to Italy, a trip into Hereford, down the Dan-yr-Ogof caves, behind a waterfall, Big Pit, Cardiff museum, as well as local visits to Lugwardine for year 7.  Year 10 also have a chance to reclaim the 'Worldwise Quiz' trophy for the school.

Keep popping back to this blog to see what's happening.  If you took any photos of places over the summer holiday, forward them to Mr Bayliss and we'll see if we can get them on this blog.

Year 7 have just started studying rocks.  The links below may be useful if you don't quite understand things yet!  Take a look, the webpages are interactive and should really enhance your understanding of the whole topic.

Year 9 trip - Cardiff museum & Big Pit

Copyright National Museums of Wales

On Friday 11th February, all of year 9 will be enjoying a field visit to South Wales. We're leaving school at 9 and will return at about 4.30pm, so make sure you have made arrangements to get home! You can wear your own, sensible clothes; but don't wear anything special as it can sometimes be muddy and wet at Big Pit.

Year 7 trip to Dan Yr Ogof caves & Henrhyd Falls - July 2010

Year 7 had great fun on the recent trips, and learnt a few things too! Have a look at the display in the Geography corridor and view the short video slideshow below.
