Heard of Tristan da Cunha?

Over the last couple of weeks Room 11 has been investigating the remote island of Tristan da Cunha. We have looked into different aspects of its history, geography and what we think it would be like to live there. Under this term's "change maker" inquiry topic we have thought carefully about how the choice to live there has lead to changes in the lives of Tristinans! It would certainly come under the "GRIT, GUTS and GENIUS" label!

The final task is to think about the changes that might occur there in the future and what or who would cause these. Today saw the students thinking about what it could mean to have more tourists visiting and how tourism to the island could be"encouraged". We decided on a radio advertisement ,backed up by a promotional poster and magazine ad. Several of the boys in the class are heading in a slightly different direction. For the promotional poster of the island they are recreating Tristan da Cunha using minecraft!!
