TYs were busy presenting their projects on Natural Disasters and also took part in a geography walk in the locality where they identified land uses in the area and created collages of what they identified
5th years watched the movie “Volcano” following their study of plate tectonics and volcanic activity and also created a Tik Tok video visiting volcanoes around the world. They also completed a project based on volcanoes, earthquakes and fold mts which is part of their November assessment.

It was a super week and well done to all who were involved and remember “you’re nowhere without geography”
