WE HAVE HAD SEVERAL EARTHQUAKES AT STM RECENTLY!!

Watch the following footage to find out what happened in room 15 at the time of the earthquake.

The 10 second earthquake rattled afew tables, but luckily nothing collapsed – good job really!

Here is 8M’s efforts from yesterday!

And here is Year 9 (set 1)’s efforts too…!

Spookily enough, Stoke-on-Trent did actually experience an earthquake on the 27th February, 2008! 5.2 on the Magnitude scale… it certainly woke me up!

 See http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/7266668.stm for an indepth report on the recent earthquake.

Whitby 1Wave cut notch…2007

Having just recently returned from a FANTASTIC fieldtrip to North Yorkshire… it was great to upload lots of photos (some interesting ones) from all the fabulous work we have done.

We started with our coastal processes data collection along West cliff beach in Whitby…

On the second day… we travelled across the moors to Scarborough. A typical tourist resort??

 The third day involved a mixture of rivers work at Falling Foss and Throstle’s Nest and a trip down into Whitby CBD itself. But do you think Whitby is a town of two halves??

 Over the next few wekks, the AS level Geographers will be creating the most brilliant projects yet! Each student will research and present a title of their choice, based on the collection of data over the 4 day fieldtrip. We wish all those students lots of hard work!
Try the following website for information regarding tourism, coastal management, the economy, town centre management and much more…
DEADLINE for projects – day before you break up for EASTER!
