Geography

In Term 3, our S2s start by continuing with the Tsunamis topic that we started just before Christmas, focusing on the Boxing Day tsunami of 2004 as a case study. In January/early February, we will be looking at the countries affected by this tsunami, with pupils choosing a country of their choosing to complete a mini-project on the impacts and aid given.
