Thanks a million Tony. What a very creative idea! Brilliant. It makes an interesting approach to our Africa unit for Year 7.
Will try out over the next few weeks.

This looks good – but there is another cause of the piracy which is the leagacy of the large scale toxic dumping off the coast of Somalia in the 1990s which has been confirmed by the UN – see

Thanks Tony – sadly will be looking at planning for next week soon. We start back in year 9 with a geography of crime and so I am sure to be able to fit this in!
