Cleethorpes Fieldwork

Year 10 coursework
We recently took our year 10 students to Cleethorpes to complete the fieldwork section of their coursework. The coursewrok set out to investigate how the quality of life in Cleethorpes varies in three wards throughout Cleethorpes.

The students were a credit to themselves and the school. Hopefully this will inspire you to produce top quality coursework!

Deep Zoom Walkthrough

I have been really impressed with how well received the Deep Zoom starters have been. They have covered topics such as Fiar Trade, Globalisation, Famine, Ghana and the Long Way Down Map.



Lots of you have been asking 'how do you do that?'



I have written a Deep Zoom Composer walkthrough file on how to create one. It is quite a big file and can be found on the link from the Healing School Geography Department.

Any problems just ask.

General stuff...

Year 11

An amazing free resource that I found by mistake. They are podcasts!! They are free to download so you can put them on your MP3 player and i-pods and then listen to them whereever you are. For example on your way to and from school - on the bus or walking home.

Link to the website.

Right-click on the relevant podcast and 'save target as'. It will then download as a MP3 file.

Year 10

I have created revsion pages for you to use and help you with your revision.

Earth Day 2009

Earth Day is a day generally celebrated in America and recognises the importance and beauty of the environment. Its' ultimate aim is to raise awareness of environmental issues in a country which is not particularly keen on tackling these issues.

The following link has some stunning pictures from the Boston Globe celebrating both the beauty and threats to the environment.
