A quirky themed worksheet which could be used for a variety of lessons. Based on the nautical origins of the 'Thunderbox' toilet.

How many oceans are there on planet Earth? There are five oceans in the world, from biggest to smallest they are: the Pacific Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean, the Indian Ocean, the Southern (Antarctic) Ocean, and the Arctic Ocean. The waters of the oceans mix together thanks to the movement of currents which create the World (global) ocean. About 71% of the planet’s surface is covered with our oceans.
What is the difference between an ocean and a sea? An ocean is larger than the sea, and is not surrounded by land in the same way as a sea is, for example, the Baltic Sea or the Black Sea.
The worksheet accompanies this video on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKjnBL22XWI).
What is the origin of the word window, and what does it mean in Old Norse? Do we still use Vikings words in the English language today? I made this page for my students as part of our module on the Vikings in Britain.

A food themed colouring activity to inspire students to think about the food we eat, the waste we produce, and where our food comes from. Ideal for primary school students, and students learning English as a foreign language.
A hand drawn activity worksheet that I created for my geography students (of all ages) in the former Soviet Republic of Georgia. The activity was to make a volcano and a fact sheet about volcanoes in a group or on their own for their homework. There was a prize for the best ones, and we invited the rest of the school to come and see them in action. It went down very well indeed! It was a great way to finish off the term, with a fun activity after studying tectonics all year.
