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!

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.

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! ;)

Thanks to SMK06 from the SLN forum for the Top Trumps cards that we shall use for lesson 3.
