@theislandgeogr Sorry only just seen your reply Chloe - students were investigating flows of pedestrians between two of the areas at the retail park, then comparing that with data we collected in the city centre earlier in the day. We were actually using some of your sheets too ❤️

Great day to be out and about in Leicester with Y10, off to Fosse Park after lunch @eduqas @SouthfieldSch #fieldwork

[mr_monk_geog @GeogMonk]

Fancy a change for September? Still time to apply and as an added bonus you get to work with me 👌 #geographyteacher #eduqas #edexcel #geography

After spending the last two years worth of lessons with Y13 ‘critically evaluating’ Trump through the lens of the human topics at GCE Geography, this is the best leaving gift ever. The mad irony is it was made in China 😂

Congratulations @fiona_616 on your upcoming @The_GA presidential year. You’ll be amazing. A real asset to @ORBISTrips and @KingsthorpeCo.

The secret is out!! I am very proud to announce that I will be the @The_GA President for 2026-2027!

Finally found the time to add this article to my Regen resources (4A.5ab) after @GeogMonk shared it on the Edexcel A-Level Facebook group. Great article- thank you!

Here’s an overview of fieldwork logistics and barriers, and how to overcome them that I worked with @fiona_616 on earlier in the year.

[HWRK Magazine @HWRK_Magazine]

Fieldwork isn’t just a nice-to-have — it’s a vital part of geography education. From inspiring curiosity to building real-world skills, getting students outside the classroom makes learning stick.

The background and student hypothesis for this visit came from @fiona_616’s wonderful book ‘100 Ideas for Secondary Teachers: Geography Fieldwork’ - using a local and accessible country park makes fieldwork easy, cheap and manageable.

Out for the day with @SouthfieldSch Y8 students at Barnwell Country Park investigating how balanced the ecosystem is here. #fieldwork #ecosystems #getoutside

Loved working with @fiona_616 on an article about #fieldwork and how to overcome common barriers that stop so many students from accessing this experience. It features in the latest edition of @HWRK_Magazine.

I am backing @fiona_616 for @The_GA President 2026-27. Fiona is an amazing trust wide colleague and tiresly continues to push geography teaching and learning forward in our schools. She is a credit to @TrustOrbis and will be an amazing president!

I was persuaded to be 10% braver and be nominated to run for the President of the GA for 2026/2027. The amazing Kit Rackley is also in the running so please read both bios and if you are a member of the GA you can vote! #GeographyTeacher

[mr_monk_geog @GeogMonk]

@geoteachrach Thank you, this is excellent. I agree with your sentiment about the unit.

@Jennnnnn_x Hand sanitiser or after shave / spray deodorant - spray on an leave for a minute then wipe off.

Cracking day today at @SAA_Show in Birmingham. Have spent most of the day at the EdTech Summit learning about #AI but a highlight is certainly winning this from @JigsawEduGroup #SAAShow24

[mr_monk_geog @GeogMonk]

@GeeTheExplorer @JeremyClarkson The whole thing is perfect for explaining the need for rural diversification at a level, the swearing however is too much of an issue to show in school!

[mr_monk_geog @GeogMonk]

@HelenPipe_1 @fiona_616 @geoteachrach @GeeTheExplorer @Mrs_Geography Migration between Mexico and USA? Something about USA being the only superpower? California drought? NAFTA? Trump buying Greenland?

[Sky News @SkyNews]

Over 320 teachers from across the UK have spoken to Sky News alleging they have experienced staff-on-staff bullying at their schools.

More than a third have had serious, credible thoughts or plans to harm themselves. Many found their mental health was in crisis
