Football is the Lingua Franca...

Football fans in East Africa (including my friends in Ethiopia!) will be watching from the sidelines as the World Cup kicks off for the first time on Africa soil. No country from the east of the continent qualified for South Africa. Read more here from BBC news, they simply don't have the investment.



On Wednesday June 23rd we can miss period 5 for England's final group game and buy a ticket to raise money for Link Ethiopia and provide much needed football facilities and support numerous vocational training programs in Ethiopia. We can buy a ticket for 50p and watch the footy.....or we could go to lesson! ;)

Controlled Assessment Catch Up...

If you miss a session then you must attend the catch up sessions which are after school on Thursday- 3:30-4:30 every week.

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights in Pictures...

I absolutely love this book and came across it in the Amnesty International Shop in Brighton. It includes 30 beautiful illustrations that promote general awareness of human rights. Something for tutor time!

Political geography....

You will know by now that the result of the 2010 election is that the Conservatives have won the most MPs but fallen short of a majority, leading to the first 'hung parliament' since 1974.

Seaford is part of the constituency of Lewes and remains firmly a Liberal Democrat seat, with Norman Baker continuing as MP. The Liberal Democrats have also gained a seat in Eastbourne from the Conservative Party. Brighton goes green as the party gained their first MP (Caroline Lucas) at Westminster. It will be interesting to see what is next for them.
