This week year 11 finished their investigation into rapid urbanisation in Rio de Janeiro by looking at the future. We discussed how attempts to improve quality of life for the urban poor were progressing and what might happen in the future. #GeoLearn @St_Aidans_RC

This week’s #GeoRead is: No One is Too Small to Make a Difference by @GretaThunberg. A book that shows the power that one person can have to make a difference. A rallying cry to act to stop the climate crisis. @staca_English #LoveReading

This week, year 10 studied how bottom-up development strategies can be employed at a local community level in an attempt to close the #DevelopmentGap. In particular, we looked at strategies such as the AfriDev Hand Pump. #GeoLearn @St_Aidans_RC

#GeoMap In Australia, population is distributed unevenly. On this map, half of Australia’s population lives in the blue areas (Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane), the other half in the white areas. Source: https://t.co/4FJkibQxPp @St_Aidans_RC

This week our Y13 Geographers conclude their examination into how superpowers shape our world by thinking about the future. How might the pattern of power distribution change in coming years? #GeoLearn @St_Aidans_RC @StAnthonysGeog1

#GeoWeb Are you interested in learning more about the place where you live or the UK? https://t.co/BpAARVoV3B is fantastic as it uses data from the census to give us useful information about the geography and demography of your chosen area. @St_Aidans_RC

This week, year 9 continue to investigate how we can manage the issue of climate change. We focus this week on climate adaptation strategies. Image: https://t.co/uG2Ta1KXUu #GeoLearn @St_Aidans_RC

Camp craft today, studying maps and planning a route from Keswick to Latrigg, using scale and distance, grid references and direction. Excellent teamwork. #HardWorkTrustFairness @St_Aidans_RC @SACA_Geography #DofE

This week Y7 move on to look at our position in the continent of Europe. Again using our #MapSkills to learn more about the physical features of the continent before answering the critical question – Are we still in Europe? #GeoLearn #Geography @St_Aidans_RC

This week year 11 learned about the challenges of keeping the huge population of a megacity happy, healthy and safe. In particular, we looked at the problems certain parts of Rio experience with crime. #GeoLearn @St_Aidans_RC

#GeoMap Within countries, population is unevenly spread. This map shows the huge east-west difference in China’s population distribution with the vast majority living in megacities in like Beijing, Shanghai, and Chongqing. @St_Aidans_RC

This week, year 10 began to investigate how we can close the #DevelopmentGap. In particular, we looked at top-down strategies, managed at a government level. #GeoLearn @St_Aidans_RC

Check out this week’s #GeoCareer of the week. Geography is the science of space. We explore the connections between the human and physical world. With such a range of topics, there’s a wide array of Geography jobs out there! @St_Aidans_RC @SACA_CareersED

This week our Y13 Geographers will continue their examination into how superpowers shape our world. In particular we dive into the relationship between the world’s emerging powers and developing nations. #GeoLearn @St_Aidans_RC @StAnthonysGeog1

This week’s #GeoRead is: The Girl of Ink and Stars by Kiran Millwood Hargrave. We love this book because it is centred around an ancient map, which is drawn beautifully in the books. A beautiful story of exploration and adventure. @staca_English #LoveReading

This week, year 9 tackle one of the most important questions we face in the modern world: How do we manage climate change? We begin by examining the role of climate mitigation strategies. #GeoLearn @St_Aidans_RC

#GeoWeb Great for those interested in economic geography. https://t.co/zJqI0Tq26W creates and curates visual content focused on trends in business and investing. It publishes data using visual methods like infographics, data visualization and charts. @St_Aidans_RC @VisualCap

This week, year 8 will examine the complex relationships between the physical landscape and human geography in the #LakeDistrict glacial landscape. Beginning, of course, with the vast range of opportunities this landscape provides. #GeoLearn @St_Aidans_RC

#GeoMap Global population is not evenly spread. This map highlights just how large the population of Asia is. China and India account for over 1/3 of the world’s population. @St_Aidans_RC
