I teach geography in Bury, which is just north of Manchester. I have to say year 7 I think the quality of your land use models is outstanding! Well done!

Hi there

I am a geography teacher from near Cambridge, I have been very impressed by the standard and quality of your models showcased on this site - they show great understanding of the different urban land-use zones - I am definitely going to get my students on the case, making some of their own!

Keep up the great work!

Hi Mr Jenkins Year 7!

I am a friend of Mr Jenkins and I teach Geography in Dundee, in Scotland. I am really impressed with your urban models and they have given me some ideas for teaching this topic to my third years (Year 10).

If you look at a map of Scotland, you will see that Dundee is on the estuary of the River Tay so instead of having circular urban zones, ours are semicircular with a couple of sectors thrown in too!

I notice that some of your models are two dimensional and some are three dimensional but I am really looking forward to seeing the ICT dimension which Mr Jenkins is promising.

Mrs V in Dundee!

Hi Noel
Great work! I shall add this activity to my SoW for next year forthwith…
How big are some of the pieces ? They look quite large…
Will use the images to model the idea to the students here.
Thanks for sharing
Alan
