MR COCKER History Read of the Week As Year 8 are starting Whitechapel this week and Year 10 are now a couple of

lessons into Crime and Punishment I thought there was no better time to

share, possibly one of the best crime

stories of all time. A Study in Scarlet was Arthur Conan Doyle’s first book to feature

the character of Sherlock Holmes. It was also written in 1888 just a few months before

the

famous

murders.

Jack

the

Ripper

The whole text is available online for free

so it will cost you nothing to have a read

of the first few pages.

If you have any books you have read or are reading that you think would be good for this section of the bulletin please

share

them

with

me

MR DOBSON’S MY FAVOURITE NATURAL HAZARD

VOLCANOES A volcano is a rupture in the crust of a planetary-mass object, such as Earth, that allows hot lava, volcanic ash, and gases to escape from a magma chamber below the surface.

Earth's volcanoes occur because its crust is broken into 17 major, rigid tectonic plates that float on a hotter, softer layer in its mantle

Task: Find an example of a volcano – write about it and email Mr Dobson with pictures cdobson@rodingvalley.net Humanities Broadcast

Miss Garip Miss Garip’s Thinking point - Talking point!

“Social thinking” or thinking socially refers to a process we all go through in our mind as we try to make sense of our own and others’ thoughts, feelings, and intentions, whether we are co-existing, interacting, or figuring out what is happening from a distance.

‘Rethinking Poverty’ Published in the New Statesman, tries to answer the important question we have not been able to eradicate since the beginning of ‘society’ as we know it (as written by Barry Knight): What makes a good society? https://www.newstatesman.com/sites/default/files/combined_exec utive_summary.pdf

Read the article above and let me know what you think! sgarip@rodingvalley.net

Mrs Delbourgo Mrs Delbourgo seeks psychology students!

What is the name for this test, where you say the colour of the word and not the word itself?

Email me your answers (adelbourgo@rodingvalley.net) and try this out on your Family/Carers. My theory is that people take longer to say the words correctly the older they get.

Do you agree?
