George and alfie
We learned about coastal landforms like coastlines and tidal patterns. The course taught us the different types of sea defenses such as groynes, sea walls, and beach reconstruction. For our final project, we had fun making a model showing these various defenses using materials like cardboard and popsicle sticks. The most enjoyable parts of the course were creating the model and meeting new friends.
Human geography population policies
Stage 4 of the demographic transition model is the most sustainable population stage because birth rates are low and death rates are low, leading to a stable population size. Stage 5 is less sustainable as low birth rates coupled with slightly higher death rates could cause the population to decline over time. The document discusses using case studies of China and Kerala, India to analyze population policies and their consequences through adding details to spider diagrams and classroom discussion before practicing exam questions.
Human geography revision dtm
The document discusses the demographic transition model (DTM), which describes the stages of change in birth and death rates and population growth of countries. It asks the student to draw and label the DTM, summarize each stage including key features of birth, death, and total population over five minutes. It also provides exam questions asking to describe the use of the DTM and explain what happens at stage 3.
Changing urban environments
Shanty towns, also known as squatter settlements, have emerged in many large cities in developing countries due to large numbers of people migrating from rural to urban areas. They are characterized by makeshift housing built from scrap materials and lack adequate facilities. Common problems associated with shanty towns include diseases from poor sanitation, hazards from unstable housing, and social and political issues. Some governments have tried relocating residents but with limited success. Improved approaches involve communities in planning and building new housing.
Geography gcse year 11 examination preparation booklet
The document provides information for students preparing for their Year 11 Geography GCSE examination. It outlines the two sections that will be examined, including topics like population change, migration, urban environments, and tourism. It also includes a glossary defining key terms used in the subject.
Rivers fieldwork booklet
The document provides information about the processes that shape rivers from their source to mouth, including erosion, transportation, and deposition of materials. Erosion can occur vertically downstream or laterally sideways as a river flows. Transportation involves four methods by which a river moves its load. Deposition happens when the river speed decreases causing it to drop larger materials first, such as when the gradient or velocity decreases or when it meets a lake.
Geography gcse mock and examination preparation booklet
The document provides guidance for students taking a geography GCSE mock exam, outlining the areas and topics that will be covered. It includes sections on plate tectonics, earthquakes, volcanoes, rivers, coastal landforms, and water supply. Students are advised to bring writing implements and a calculator. Key concepts are defined in a glossary. Flash cards summarize key processes, landforms, and management strategies related to various physical geography topics.
Exam Level Marking cards
1) Statements may be in a random order with limited detail and links for 1-4 marks.
2) Statements are linked with some detail, examples, and specialist terms for 5-6 marks.
3) Statements are detailed and interlinked with accurate contextualized information and well-structured sentences for 7-8 marks.

Moving stories lesson 8 - Population Pyramids
The document discusses using population pyramids to predict population change. It provides population data for the UK in 2010 and 2050 broken down by age and gender. Population pyramids visually depict this data using bars to show male and female populations in each age group. Comparing pyramids from different times allows predicting how a population will change in the future. The homework is to create a 3D population pyramid for the UK in 2050 using materials like Lego bricks or jelly babies and compare it to the 2010 pyramid.
Factors affecting discharge
A flood warning has been issued for riverside properties in Chelmsford, Essex due to heavy overnight rain. Flooding is expected in riverside areas, including the cricket ground and an industrial estate. Residents are advised to protect their property immediately. Some drivers had to be rescued from flooded cars after roads flooded following the heavy rain.
Edgar Frost
Eddie Frost was born in 1920 in London and enlisted in the British army in 1940 at age 20. He trained as a glider pilot and took part in Operation Varsity, the largest airborne operation of World War 2 over the Rhine River in Germany in March 1945. During the dangerous landing, Eddie's glider encountered heavy fire and he was killed at just 25 years old. He was buried in the Reichswald Forest War Cemetery in Germany.
Ethiopia Goods
A shipment of goods was sent from Ayder High School in Mekelle, Ethiopia. The shipment included jewelry like necklaces and earrings made from local stones in various colors, Ethiopian-style t-shirts with shells on the bottom, women's scarves, wool scarves saying "Love Ethiopia", and children's summer outfits of short-sleeve t-shirts and skirts in various colors. Silver rings were also included.
Viewing the World Cup in Uganda
Mr Docker has been corresponding with Yine Barnabas, who lives in Uganda and went to our link school in Mpigi.
Yine has produced this PowerPoint to show how the World Cup (and England’s game against Germany) has been viewed in Uganda.
Method Table
This document discusses methods for data collection but provides no details about any specific methods, concepts, descriptions, importance, problems, limitations, or potential developments. It only includes a header for a "Method Linked concept Description" but no corresponding information.
Geography Controlled assessment
The document provides guidance on how to get maximum marks on a geography controlled assessment. It recommends that the introduction should explain the hypothesis being tested, what data will be collected and where, as well as why the theme is important to study. Key terms associated with the theme, such as quarrying and land use, should also be defined. Maps of different scales should be used to locate the study area and show where data will be collected. A method table is then outlined listing the types of data to be collected, such as through questionnaires, surveys, and field sketches, to analyze factors like land use, the environment, and economic benefits.
Food miles
This document discusses the origins and food miles of common lunch ingredients like spring onions, tomatoes, bread, radishes, and ham. It finds that while some items like bread and ham came from the UK and traveled 0 km, other items such as spring onions from Egypt and radishes from Israel traveled over 3,500 km each. In total, the ingredients for this typical lunch traveled around 7,464 km, which is the equivalent distance from Benfleet, UK to Brazil.
George and paige presentation
This document summarizes a geography course for gifted and talented fifth graders. The students learned about wave formation and different types of waves. They also studied various sea protections like groynes, sea walls, and beach rebuilding. To demonstrate their learning, the students worked as a team to create a 3D model using paper, sticks, and pom-poms to show different sea defenses. They enjoyed making the creative model the most and hope others find their presentation informative.
Alice
The document summarizes a student's geography course on coastal protection. It details that the student learned how tides and waves are formed, how coastlines are protected, and construction methods and costs for rip rap and groynes. The student made a model demonstrating these concepts using materials like tissue paper, straws, and lolly sticks, and enjoyed making the model and meeting new people in the course.
Callum
Our model represents how our coastlines are protected from erosion. We first made a base and added crepe paper to represent land and beach. Then we added coastal defences like sea walls, rip rap, and groynes. We layered green paper over hills and included details like a JCB digger. Both Callums enjoyed making the model and being with friends and their teacher on the geography course.
Chloe
This document summarizes a student's learning in a gifted and talented geography course. The student learned about coastal landforms like rip rap, groynes, sea walls, and revetments, as well as how waves are formed. They made a model of a beach out of paper and glue showing these landforms. Their favorite part of the course was making the model.
Eleanor
This student summarizes what they learned in a geography course for gifted and talented students. They learned about coastal landforms like groynes and rip rap, how waves are formed, and the costs associated with coastal construction projects. To demonstrate their learning, the student created a simple model of a coastal area out of paper, sticks, and straw, showing features like a sea wall, groynes, rip rap, sand, sea, and cliff. They enjoyed making the model and a course video, and conducting outdoor demonstrations of wave formation.
Sophia&brooke
The document summarizes a geography course taken by two gifted students, Sophia and Brooke. They learned about how waves form and coastal protection structures like rip-rap, sea walls, groynes and revetments. To demonstrate, the students made a model out of cardboard and tissue paper showing these features, as well as waves and how beaches are rebuilt. Both students enjoyed learning about coastal erosion and meeting new friends during the course.
Ronnie
My model shows a tide away going to fall on the sea and hit the sea wall which protects the beach, while the waves splash against the cliff. I enjoyed making the model of the waves and sea wall out of cardboard, lollypop sticks, blue card, tissue paper, and matchsticks under the guidance of my helpful teacher, Mr. Hunt, and learning about waves with the whole class.
Christchurch Feedback Week 1
The document discusses ways a church can improve attracting non-churchgoers through personal contacts, church programs and events, special services, and publicity. It provides feedback on these areas for one church and suggestions for improvement. The church scored moderately on personal contacts with non-churchgoers. It received higher scores for its church program and special Christmas services. Suggestions are given for improving outreach through better follow up with visitors, youth events, marriage support, and using the church hall and special services to welcome newcomers.
