A great day to go searching for microclimates around the school site. Year 7 geographers working hard and enjoying the sunshine!

[LGS Geography @LangleyGSGeog]

Half of year 7 ventured out into Langley today in order to collect weather readings. Conclusion = it was hot!

Year 7 geographers took advantage of the lovely weather this morning to measure microclimates around the school site.

Technology in the wild! Year 10 students are using their iPads to record their fieldwork evaluations.

More glorious weather in Devon for the year 10 geographers! Today is rural fieldwork, comparing quality of life in two villages.

Our year 10 students expertly conducting an assessment of coastal management methods.

Bags arriving now. We’ll bring all students through together to release to parents.

On the ground.

Day 5: kayaking on the centre’s lake- a lovely opportunity to develop as well rounded, confident young people. We are super proud of the way they’ve worked with the centre staff this week, as well as other members of the public - and indeed each other!

Day 4: exploring cultural tensions in Londonderry, students taking advantage of the freedom to design their own investigation questions, qualitative fieldwork- followed up by extensive discussion and debate in the evening

[LGS Geography @LangleyGSGeog]

Day 3: sand dune succession fieldwork at Bushfoot - trampling, exploring, struggling through the landscape to see if it fits the model of ph, soil depth, vegetation cover. Then back to the centre to do Mann-Witney U tests.

[LGS Geography @LangleyGSGeog]

Day 3: physical geography fieldwork on sand dune succession at the Bushfoot sand dunes: trampling, exploring, persisting through the rain, followed up by Mann-Witney U tests back at the centre.

[LGS Geography @LangleyGSGeog]

Day 3: visiting the Giants Causeway this afternoon, creating plenty of time to connect with the landscape, creating memories and pondering the way physical geography drives both cultural stories and scientific thinking

[LGS Geography @LangleyGSGeog]

@lgs_news Day 2: Human Jenga tonight - a chance to develop teamwork, trust and tenacity - a record breaking 18 levels of crates for Gagan, Urvi and Krishna! #LGSConfident

[LGS Geography @LangleyGSGeog]

Day 2: the year 12 #LGSIndependent geographers are exploring the geodiversity of the N Antrim coast, here at White Rocks - using deliberately engineered dodgy fieldwork to develop evaluation skills

[LGS Geography @LangleyGSGeog]

Lots of happy Year 12 Geographers have arrived in Northern Ireland for a week of fieldwork- exploring Belfast today and then up to County Antrim and the coast later. @lgs_news
