Last week our Year 9 and 10 geographers were joined by some visitors who delivered an exciting project in association with National Grid, Northumberland Council, North Sea Link and the Fifth Point diving centre.
Students learned all about renewable energy sources and the North Sea link from Blyth to Norway. The group were amazed to hear about the experience of the sea from a diver's perspective - both the beauty of it and the tragic impact of plastic on the natural balance and wildlife.
The group heard about issues created on our beaches and problems faced by wildlife as a result. The students have been invited to create signage as part of this project with some very exciting prizes. We can't wait to see what they produce!
