A nice wee video here to show you just how useful this subject can be. The skills taught in Geography are very much in demand by universities and employers therefore why not give yourself that bit of an "edge" over others?
Information for pupils studying Geography in school ages 11 - 18 in Scotland. Geography "in your face".

Lovely film here showing the path of a river and land use. Oh and a bit of British nostalgia via the Olympic 2012 opening ceremony too.

Olympic torch comes to Carrick
Well done to Ryan for running with the torch today. Olympic fever hit Maybole early this morning and it even stayed dry for the event! It seemed that all of the town came out to see the runners.

Earthquake in Italy
After the first 'quake
The aftershock did this.
The magnitude-6.0 quake struck in the middle of the night, about 35km (22 miles) north of the city of Bologna. An aftershock of 5.1 caused more buildings to collapse. The aftershock destroyed a clock tower. The tremor forced many terrified residents into the streets.More than 3,000 people were later evacuated from their homes amid fears of fresh tremors.Northern Italy is frequently rocked by little earthquakes. More information from the BBC here.

Supported study
A few pics here to remind us what we did at supported study - I know the prizes for the plane that went the furthest! Try to remember the summary sheets we did before you threw them out the window. As for the "window art" they need a bit of work. Good job there are a few weeks to go before the final exam. Ok I've got a cheek - mine aren't much better but my labels are. Keep working at it - you can get there.

Supported Study with a difference
A wee session tonight on writing Higher Questions when presented with the marking schemes. A lot of good thinking was done. Well done! After this a bit of fun with a "guess what I am session" on development and health and the challenging glaciation terms. Yes -I was a prat too and ended up with a few crackers stuck to my forehead. We could only answer yes, no or maybe when each person was trying to find out what feature or process they were. Apparently everyone else does "normal" supported study sessions! I don't like to be "normal". Next week- jigsaws, more tete a tete and another little gem I've got up my sleeve! Stop sighing.

Chocolate - not any more. All due to Global Warming.
We all know Scots love their chocolate and most don't care how expensive it is. You might have to pay a lot more for it in future though as a study has revealed places growing cocoa beans will have different weather because of global warming. Other crops will be affected too - grapes ans wheat. That's bad news for wine and pasta prices! The original article is here if you want to read more
