Piatra Craiului

Last week Year 7 and 8 left behind the constantly developing urban area of Bucharest with it's traffic and heat, heading out to Piatra Craiului for their outward bound trip.

But what is it?  Where does it's name come from?  How was it formed?

How did it come to this in Syria?

One of the big questions about the Refugee Crisis and Syria is how has it got to this point.  Click the image below to a cartoon which sums it up very clearly, and reminds us that wars are never straight forward.

The cartoon itself is taken from Years of Living Dangerously they also have a Facebook page if you are interested (if you are under 13 and not old enough for Facebook ask an adult to show you)

Of course you may disagree or have more questions which you can use the comments section for if you wish.

Refugee Crisis Display

An interactive display outside the Geography room for students (and staff) to share their opinions.  Next time you are passing feel free to add a post-it or chart your feelings.  Thanks to the excellent GeographyPods website for sharing the resources.
For more information as well you can check out a range of news stories I have shared on pearltrees.
