Mr Jeff Thomas...Closet Geographer! ;)

Mr Thomas (History) has recently discovered his love of all things Geography.

'Geography is really exciting, I just can't get enough of it lately. The only reason I chose to teach History is because Geography was too difficult a subject!'

Monumite...love it or hate it?

Having spent a few days in my home town of Burton-Upon-Trent, I came to notice a slight change in the landscape. They have installed a Marmite monument (costing £15,000), nicknamed 'Monumite', closeby to the River Trent. Love it or hate it? Ah Burton!

Come on England!

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!

Merry Christmas from Jedward!

To all my blog readers...have a fantastic Christmas and don't eat all the mince pies ;)

It's time to track Santa!

Happy Christmas Eve! Get updated reports and streaming videos from key stops on Santa's trip around the world. Google software will output live images from NORAD's high-speed digital “Santa Cams," and Google Maps and Google Earth will follow Santa as he travels around the world. He has just lifted off from the North Pole!

Track Santa here.

Merry Christmas from the Geography Department!

Flintstones Funky Funny for Friday Frivolity...

A new middle east crisis erupted last night as Dubai Television was refused permission to broadcast 'The Flintstones'.
A spokesman for the channel said 'A claim was made that people in Dubai would not understand the humour, but we have heard that people in Abu Dhabi Do'

Some funky stuff...

I got very excited by one particular shop today! Maybe it was the excitement of actually being able to go into a shop in Brighton!

London 2012: An Olympics for the young people of the world?

Watched Britain's Got Talent earlier and visualised this group of dancers from Essex, 'Diversity', performing at the London 2012 opening ceremony. One of the reasons London won the Olympic bid was owing to the focus on young people, from around the world being inspired by Olympic sport to do sport and the positive effect that this would have on peoples’ futures around the globe. Lord Coe said that the purpose of the Games is to “inspire young people” and that “London’s multi-cultural mix of 200 nations represent the youth of the world”. I just thought that this group of dancers could help spread this message...

Do you think that the games will provide a lasting legacy of stadia that young people will aspire to perform in? Thinking about this message, what do you think could feature at the London 2012 opening ceremony?

On a slightly different note, I have that annoying song in my head from 'DJ Talent'. 'I say talent, Britain's got talent'. Grrr ;)

The Apprentice lego spoofs...

Couldn't resist, had to post :)
