S2 pupils have also been working hard to create DIY volcanoes. This year saw some of our best ever entries; we had cakes, explosions and cross-sections!
All the volcanoes were of a very high standard and fitted the brief – to have the correct outer shape and colouring of a volcano, with some also showing the volcano’s inner structure.
A big thanks to all the mums, dads, carers, grans and papas for all their support (and putting up with the mess!)

S3 pupils created model towns from Lego to show the growth and structure of cities – all demonstrated a very good understanding of the different land use zones within cities and how these are changing.
A reminder that all S1 and S2 pupils will rotate between History and Geography after the October break.
Can you help? If anyone is off on a break over the October week could you send us a postcard!
We use these to help decorate our large wall maps and with our Travel and Tourism classes.

S1 pupils have been creating fabulous models as part of their first piece of homework. They were given the brief to create a model of anything with a link to geography and with their name in it. The imagination and hard work by all the pupils – and helpful mums, dads, carers, grans and papas was outstanding. We are looking forward to another set arriving in the second term when the pupils have rotated to their other social subject.

Higher Geography pupils took part in a field trip earlier this week. The morning saw them take a rib ride along the Clyde to look at regeneration along the waterfront, followed by a walking tour of the Gorbals, and some fieldwork exercises in the
city centre.
On Wednesday S3 Geography pupils visited the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome and Emirates Arena to look at regeneration in Glasgow’s East End. They also took a tour around the area with a representative from Clyde Gateway who pointed out lots of examples of how the area is changing.
In the afternoon we visited Silverburn to look at out of town shopping centres and undertake some fieldwork tasks.
As part of their ‘Empty Lands’ unit, S2 were tasked with designing their own animal. Pupils had to understand how the climate and environment of the tundra, rainforest and desert have led to plants and animals adapting to the area.
Pupils were encouraged to use their imagination when designing the look of the animal – but the adaptations had to suit the climate region they live in.
These are some of the results.

Some of our S1 Geography classes were asked to make a model of a place or feature from anywhere in the world.
Students were to incorporate their name it their model as well.
The results were excellent and a big thank you to all the Mums & Dads, grans & papas who helped the class with their work.
