There is a new Geographer in town!!

Hi Everyone

My name is Calum Stevenson and I was born last Sunday. I am already sleeping loads but when I'm awake my Mum seems to talk an awful lot and she already has me looking at the weather and scenery so I think I will have to like Geography!! She has had me watching the power of the planet and the other night was getting very excited about ice and glaciers. Mum says everyone is to watch this programme and look at this link http://www.bbc.co.uk/sn/tvradio/programmes/earthpoweroftheplanet/.

Thank you to all Mum's pupils who have given me a present I am already playing with soft toys and rattles - I like their sound and I love my Disney blanket.
