Last Sunday, just before dusk, the evening sun sliced the landscape in half. I’m no photographer but my camera managed to catch these, which don’t quite reflect the impact of the live picture.
You can find some tips and links below the pictures. But in the end you have to find the best way for yourself.
Six Maasai warriors have travelled from their remote rural village in Tanzania to the UK to run the Flora London Marathon.
The aim is to raise enough money to provide the village with clean water. This will cost between £20,000 and £60,000.
Last week it was spring scenes - now it’s back to winter scenes.
Mr F has kindly set the station up and worked out how to display and here it is. This is a snap shot from this morning. It is a live feed. More later.
That’s what happens when a play comes a long. Now it’s over, I should find the time to update this a bit more!
Now, the big Geog news is that we now have a sophisticated weather station at school. You’ll see it attached above the Geog room and it’s wirelessly linked to a PC and a data logger, which will record all the weather we want. More later, when I’ve had the time to get it going.
