Hello Everyone, We know that in this time of real uncertainty, you might for once not want to sit indoors all day as the sun shines bright, and for many, you might actually be bored. We get that – it is perfectly acceptable and believe me, we adults are feeling just the same as you! So, to help pass the time over Easter especially, or when you have completed all your CW that is being set – please find below some different challenges and tasks that you can complete to help build your skills in Geography. Some you may find easier than others, and that’s ok – just move on to the next J We have also pulled together videos on Netflix (hopefully they still are!) or suggested films that you might like to watch – as always, please ensure your parent/guardian is happy for you to watch these first and they also review the age consent of the one/s you select – as these may have changed since we compiled the list. As always too, if you are watching something and you don’t like it – stop! Some of the films may provide the truth to how food is made for example, and some of you may not like this! Happy entertaining yourself J and Happy Easter when it comes! The Geography Team
