Geog House Competition - Nov 2023

Geography Competition “A blue-print for our future”

 Over the summer a Geography competition was sent out to all children.  Our World is changing. The big geographical issues of today need to be addressed now to protect the future of our planet and the people who live on it.  We were looking for innovative ideas to address problems in areas such as food production and supply, energy and sustainability, water security, resources, population growth, economic crisis, transport, travel, urbanisation, risk management, trade, environmental management, biodiversity and more.

There were many entries in the form of posters, models, stories and slide shows  We have chosen 5 winners who will all receive a prize.  They also go onto the next stage of the competition.  Their entries will be sent to the “Royal Geography Society”. This is a competition with schools all across England entering.  The winner of this competition will become “Young Geographer of the Year”

Henry Sellen  Henry created a poster which highlighted the ways that we are poisoning our planet through different types of pollution. He suggested several methods to help the situation for example: Using electric cars instead of cars that need petrol of diesel.

Ava Bell  Ava’s entry titled “How I want to save the planet” focussed on 4 different areas.  1. Using your voice to make people aware of the problem.  2. Being political and encouraging voters to think about the environment and cast their vote accordingly.

 3. Reducing your waste by recycling.  4. Asking people to donate to companies and charities that can make a difference

Emile Minalgaite  Emile created a poster explaining how important sustainable energy sources like solar panels are.

 Animals going extinct was another focus with the Dodo being an example

Harry Buchan  Harry created a beautiful model which went into detail about how important it is to preserve the habitats of animals.  Harry thinks that sustainable energy resources like wind turbines and solar panels are some of the most responsible methods to gather energy to fuel our planet.
