Higher geo paper was a very fair paper but think the N5 was lacking balance. 27/80 marks reliant on OS skills. Colleagues agreed that, comparatively, easier to achieve in Higher. Something not right in that.

Controversial question for a controversial topic at work: Is there ever a justification for terror/ terrorism? We have recently discounted some misconceptions about who becomes involved and are now looking at why people become involved, to give some context.

Showed my flaws early in the new post. Onwards and upwards.

Needed a hard hat today. Looming visit, pres to colleagues tomorrow (4 hours prep!), prelims in 2 of 3 subjects tomorrow too, supported study eve & at lunch w/ student who couldn’t make after school, lesson cover, challenging S2 group poking at holes & AAR/ invigilation confusion

Outstanding presentation from Joe this morning. All about Italy 🇮🇹, an erupting volcano and the background to the Colosseum plus model.

@PSFagan The unacceptable face of Scottish football

JFK role play in action. With 31 students, we ended up with the governor of Texas somehow managing to swap seats but we think the message got through 😂 Kudos to secret serviceman Hill for his attempt to save JFK

Latitude and Longitude with S1 using outdoor spaces. We were trying to use the grid to find where our cities should be. How did we do?

[Kenny73 @Kenny73]

Please feel free to follow @AidansSoc which will keep people up to date with the work going on in my new department. Already great work being shared by @HistoryStAidans and @GeoStAidans. This is just joining the dots.

@thatboycanteach How about this resource? Prevents teacher led lessons and ensures learners construct their own success criteria. You will also feel the benefit of being well rested in this hectic profession. Feet up on the desk now...

@Map_Addict Because I then have a conscientious daughter in meltdown for not finishing her homework. And it’s in my own subject too 😳

[Kenny73 @Kenny73]

How’s your Sunday been? I’ve spent most of the day helping my 11 year old with a homework due tomorrow that she has been doing solid for a week. 11. Years. Old. Always try to remember there are other subjects giving homework too. And that these are kids.

@morphosaurus Talks to us all. I had a long blether with it after my S1 class today. It can be a wearing job.

Vulcanian style eruption occurs at #Soputan volcano in #Indonesia with ash up to 6km high. Queries as to whether the Sulawesi earthquake was the final trigger to cause the eruption. https://t.co/YNPyaKfpZT #geographyteacher #geogchat #volcano #hazards

They lied through their teeth on that bloody bus.

They sneered at NHS doctors who warned against Brexit.

They dismissed quitting EU nurses as ‘Project Fear’.

Well now look. Major drug trials scrapped.

Brexit is absolutely trashing our NHS. https://t.co/sArUZ6zMVE

@robfmac @historygirl27 I’m too lazy, I mean busy to attend to that
