Happy New Year!

Miss Scott and Miss Chadwick are looking forward to starting lessons with the new Year 10's and welcoming back Year 11's on Monday. We hope you have had geographical summers! Well done to Year 11 , there were some excellent module results- special congratulations to Chelsea who achieved an A grade, Ghelbi, Muneer, Tezar and Nadiur for achieving B grades.

Haverstock go to Overstrand

At the end of June 8 lucky Year 10's joined Miss Chadwick and Miss Scott at Overstrand in Norfolk for four days. They had the opportunity to learn about coastal management along the North Norfolk Coast, investigate how rivers change and see the impact tourism has had on the area. I am sure they will all agree that they learnt far more by visiting the area rather than being in the classroom.

There was plenty of time for relaxation and fun with games of aeroball, laser quest, archery, a leap of faith, a camp fire with pizza, riddles and dancing and even a (disappointing) England Match. Miss Scott and Miss Chadwick were a bit concerned about their ability to teach when Mark said he was looking forward to going back to England! Thanks Year 10's for making the trip so much fun! Look out for application letters for February's Morocco trip after work experience.

Good Luck

Good luck to all of you tomorrow. See you at 11am for revision and warm up!

Miss Scott and Miss Chadwick

Mock Preparation

As you know your Geography Yr10 Mock exam is on Friday 15th of May so you have a week of preparation.

So get preparing- you need to revise all of the work we have covered on Camden and The Swahili Coast in Tanzania.

Good luck to all of you
