ECOSYSTEMS<br />
As our students grow up in an increasingly global world, the effects of the lifestyles we lead<br />
have an ever growing impact of the world we inhabit. This term in Geography the year 8’s<br />
have been understanding the ecosystems around our planet and the fragile nature of the changes<br />
we make to them. We have been concentrating on tropical rainforests, especially in the wake of<br />
the tragic wildfires in Australia early last month. One of the activities we did involved the group<br />
creation of the rainforest structure, showing the complex relationships between the plants and<br />
animals. The standard of the creations was extremely high and the time, effort and dedication<br />
shown by everyone in lesson was outstanding. At the end the students had a deep and embedded<br />
knowledge of the rainforest and the follow up on rainforest destruction led to a passionate<br />
response from everyone in class.<br />
The winners from the competition are shown on this page. Everyone on here receives VP points<br />
