Thanks to everyone who squeezed in to Jill and Chloë's workshop this afternoon! So great to hear the room buzzing with conservations about #fieldwork @GAFOLSIG @The_GA ##gaconf26

[Geographical Association @The_GA]

If you’re looking for supportive, practical training, this day at FSC Preston Montford is ideal.

You’ll go outdoors, test different fieldwork approaches and join a friendly Q&A to help troubleshoot anything that feels daunting.

A great confidence boost for anyone new to teaching geography and geography fieldwork in secondary.

From 2026, more schools and more pupils across GB will gain free access to digital geography tools. ✏️🌍

Enabling more teachers to be supported with high quality digital mapping in their classrooms - where it can make the biggest difference: https://t.co/mlVR1rviQw

[Mr PM @mr_perez5]

The @GeogPost16HE wants to hear from YOU to help shape the work of the committee - this will influence our work, data collection and the resources we produce.

As part of our #Geography fieldwork, #Year1 did a survey of the transport found on Welling High Street. #fieldwork #littlegeographers #transport

After a bit of a marathon upload session (😩) I now have lots of new resources on my site... including 15 'Forty minute #fieldwork' plans - fully developed enquiry ideas designed for your school grounds and local area, and all FREE to download!

[Christ Church School @ChristChurch_Sc]

Year 3/4 completed some fieldwork for geography today! They are investigating whether there are too many cars on the road compared to buses. They will spend time later this week analysing the data and deciding on their next steps to help reduce pollution. #geography #fieldwork

[Dr Ben King 🌏 @benking01]

Some of the best days as a #GeographyTeacher are the #fieldwork days.

Today's one of my favourites!

And my #LongCovid-afflicted body is in the best position possible this morning:

@visible_health shows a gently-rising Heartrate Variability (HRV) - based on morning check-ins...

🚁 Fieldwork looks different from up here 😍 #geomorphology #fieldwork #droneview #Landscapes

[Abubakar Abdulrahman Hassan @im_rahmanhasan]

Yesterday, we tested new theodolites and I learned about Face Left and Face Right observations. After turning and transiting the telescope, the reading came close to 180°, showing how accuracy is checked.
Practical learning really makes the theory stick. #Surveying #fieldwork
