Geography students get creative for natural hazards project

Our Year 7 Geography students were able to display their creative side in a Geography homework project over the Easter holidays when they had to create a 2D or 3D representation of either a volcanic eruption, earthquake, tsunami or tropical storm.

We were impressed with the many amazing projects that were submitted and could see our students put in a great deal of time and effort. They used a lot of imagination in their designs as well as being resourceful with the materials.

As well as amazing ‘in the box’ designs, there was ‘out of the box’ thinking with students using lighting effects for storm clouds, bicarbonate of soda for exploding volcanos and even taking the project to the beach to show the effects of flooding.

Mrs Crooks and Mr McQueen had the unenviable task of judging the entries as it was really difficult to decide with such a variety of entries. Every student who completed the homework project were awarded achievement points for their efforts.

Congratulations to Joseph Brackley and Rufus Hawes who were the joint winners and Sophie Bullen, Noah Styles, Jack Ward and Mollie Louise O’Grady who were runners-up.
