Many of you have been asking me about Google earth. Well here it is to download for free - probably best to ask mum and dad first! If you come up with some good ideas for its use, or find some new things to do on it - let me know. We will be using it more and more over the next few weeks (maybe best to leave this until after end of year exams!)
