Part of the Geography A-Level course with our Year 12s, Is to study<br />

coastal formations.<br />

Our Geographers hit the road at 6.30am on 10 th November for our<br />

first location of Chesil Beach in Dorset. We were joined by the Leeson<br />

House Field Studies Centre, who were able to show us the coastal<br />

landforms and processes which are being created along the Jurassic<br />

Coastline. While at Chesil Beach, the students completed beachprofiles<br />

and put their fieldwork skills into action. We even got a<br />

personalised weather forecast from the @MetOffice on Twitter (it<br />

stayed dry)!<br />

We continued further East along the coastline towards Durdle Door<br />

and Lulworth Cove. After watching a stunning sunset across the<br />

coastline, we headed back to School by 8.30pm.<br />

We were invited by Interclimate, an<br />

environmental education charity, to participate<br />

for the fourth year running in their mock United<br />

Nations Convention on Climate Change which<br />

was held in Cheltenham Council Chambers.<br />

Summer Wyatt-Buchan, Ethan Hadad and Fin<br />

McDonald were part of the delegation from<br />

Cuba and Ben and Ralph Sharp<br />

represented Australia. Both teams hotly<br />

debated the contentious targets that were<br />

being discussed and eloquently presented the<br />

views and challenges experienced by their<br />

respective countries with regard to Climate<br />

Change. Mrs Johnstone was very impressed<br />

with the standard of debate and the research<br />

that had been carried out by all involved!
