Geography at the Movies


Every year around February time Year 8 students have to decide which subjects they are going to opt to study at GCSE. This year we decided to invite all of our Year 8 students to attend a week long analysis of Geography themes they may see in films. We started off by showing 2012 and this sparked some lively debate surrounding the impacts of climate change, how and why jet streams and thermohaline circulations work. Of course all this was supplemented with some free popcorn!! A great idea that we will continue to do next year, perhaps throughout the cool summer months to really build up some geographical discussion!
