Prior to going into the hall to watch the England vs Slovenia game, 7G get behind the team. Good geography! ;)



Ben demonstrates some more good geography...colouring in a map of the countries participating in the world cup!

Global Peace Index

I have just had a look at the Vision of Humanity website and it looks very useful. 149 nations of the world have been ranked by their peacefulness and the results have stimulated some very interesting analysis.

Thanks to Dannyoc (SLN)

Who are you cheering for in the World Cup?

In a lesson next term we will be predicting the World Cup winner through geographical statistics. Something useful for this...

WhoshouldIcheerfor.com is a site from the World Development Movement that ranks all the teams playing in the World Cup to find the most supportable on the basis of their efforts to eradicate poverty and social injustice. The results are based on a wide range of facts and figures.


Thanks BigBird from SLN.
