As part of Ms Mroczkowska’s and Mr Stimpson’s Year 8 Geography lessons, students are looking at Microclimates around the school. This phenomenon creates special unique mini-climates in areas of solar/heat intensity, dark or light surfaces or shaded, sheltered vicinities.
Students learnt first-hand how Microclimates are created and how to find them. As with any Geographer, data collection is half the task; now our intrepid learners will present their findings in a report. So please watch out for your Year 8 child becoming very interested in walls, heating ventilation systems and dark or light surfaces!
