Welcome class of 2016!

This post is to welcome Mr Rogers’ Year 10 GCSE students.  This blog is for you  - I’ll add in lesson materials, detail of homework and extra help.  These pages are designed to help you, so do let me know if you’d like to see anything added.

You can contact me at anytime by emailing me.  I’ll try to get back to you as soon as possible.  Otherwise, find me in my office in the Warmdene. I’ll always be there after school on a Wednesday if you need to speak to me.

The first lesson focused on defining weather and climate.  Definitions form an important part of the Geography course.

The homework was to investigate a weather event of your choice and to describe its impact on people.
