G-Day....

This year, we have an extra day in the year...
It's the 29th of February and it's a Friday...
I plan to make it G-Day in the school, and have a series of events in the school to publicise Geography.

Does anyone have any thoughts on how we can make this extra day extra geographical !

Also next year will come MAKE A DIFFERENCE MONDAY... for our KS3 pupils, to get them involved in informed action and citizenship links.

Each Monday we will showcase one way that the pupils can make a difference in an easy way, and introduce a sort of loyalty card which they can get stamped if they participate, and get prizes for the ones they take part in.

I have various books with lots of guidance on changing the world 9 to 5 etc., but if anyone knows of any particular projects or websites which the students can be guided towards to flesh out the timetable that would be good...

This purpose built facility occupies the same space as eight football pitches, equivalent to the length of three London Eye’s stacked on top of each other." "The 46,450 square foot Marston Gate Distribution Centre was opened in November 2000 with over 300 people involved in its construction. The centre delivers orders placed at Amazon.co.uk to customers across the country and to more than 200 countries worldwide. In the Distribution Centre there are four different picking levels in the picking tower with
