Our Restless Planet

Mrs Windle’s Year 9 Geography
classes, 9X and 9Z recently com-
pleted some fantastic projects on
a volcanic eruption or earthquake
of their choice as part of the ‘Our
Restless Planet’ topic. There was
a range of volcanic eruptions and
earthquakes studied, with the
current eruption on the Spanish
Canary Island, La Palma, featur-
ing quite frequently. A special
mention to Hamza in 9Z for his
brilliant project on the La Palma
volcano and Abdulaziz in 9Z for
his outstanding project on Anak
Krakatoa.

Well done Year 9!
