A new patriotism...
Coming to the end of 'Real England' which I've blogged about several times before...
Good paragraph in final chapter...
"We need, perhaps, a new type of patriotism, benign and positive, based on place not race, geography not biology. One which seeks to make the best of what we are and what we have. A national mission to reclaim the land and the landscapes for all the people who live in them and care about them."
Also check out "Flood", starting at 8.05 tomorrow on ITV, continuing at 9pm on Monday...

Final submissions...
Hope you're all having a nice Bank Holiday so far !
Just been sitting in the sun marking coursework so far, and some folders need a little more input. Make sure you haven't got any other bits sitting in your book, or on your home PC, or Flash drive that I can have on Tuesday so that I can give you the maximum credit that you deserve...
Remember the list that I posted last week - have you REALLY done ALL of those things ?
(Hint: the answer for some of you is "No"....)

Getting close to Study Leave
Best wishes to all Year 11 for their summer exams.
Hope that Year 10 exams have been going well too.
Remember that you miss a session on Friday because of exams.

Final additions for Year 11

Multimedia Presentation
Dn't want to see any more random Google searching for images of King's Lynn - that isn't what I need at this point...
Need a contribution from you which demonstrates your view of a particular aspect of King's Lynn's cultural landscape, and an appreciation that you realise that not everyone will see the town in the same way: think of how some of these people might view the town: tourists, young people, homeless people, recent arrivals from Europe, old people who've lived in the town all their lives...
You have had 6 weeks to interview people, take images etc.
The Year 11 work is worth 50% of your mark...
Final chances now for honing your final submissions....
And finally:
Check your exercise book - is there anything that could be neatly cut out and incorporated into any of these above pieces as an appendix or supplementary sheet...
