Another superb Evensong @magdalenoxford and National Anthem after from above the cloisters.

Superb day’s fieldwork with A-level geographers in #Cardiff Bay. Exploring #regeneration, #place identity, impacts of structural economic change as part of the @OCR_Geography spec.

The hard work of the @MCSOxford L6th CSO groups is starting to bear fruit! Or more accurately, chard, lettuce, and radishes! @EcoSchools #gardening #growyourown

[Mr Marshall Geography @MarshallGeog]

A great term’s work, with even the most initially reluctant gardeners doing a superb job! Roll on the radishes, hopefully by the end of next half term...

[Magdalen College School, Oxford @MCSOxford]

🌿 The L6th pupils have been busy in the CSO Biology Garden this term, growing veg and a bee-friendly wildflower garden.

Yesterday the pupils picked these spring onions and mint, which are today being used by the Catering team in our school lunches! @MCSOxfordFood

[Mr Marshall Geography @MarshallGeog]

Excited to be leading the weekly @MCSOxford CSO Gardening group. A wildflower garden and bee hotels are key parts of the students' plans - great to see that these really pay off beyond the school gates!

The annual appearance of the snake’s head #fritillary in Iffley Meadows. There are few better signs of #spring than #Oxfordshire’s County #flower. Well-maintained ancient wet meadows, human and physical geography in perfect balance @BBOWT

Another awesome resource from @CarbonBrief that would stand up very well indeed in any lesson on climate change, and the long term carbon cycle (in A-Level Geog). Also amazing how much an interactive map brings something to life.

Great to have attended my first #WorldEdSummit
A very interesting mix of evidence-based expertise, impassioned & unsubstantiated claims, and cultish worship of Ken Robinson. Certainly food for thought... #edutwitter @tes

New photos from the Civil Protection and Emergency Management gives a good overview of the eruption site in Geldingadalur #Reykjanes #eruption

[Mr Marshall Geography @MarshallGeog]

Very exciting to have had our first @EcoSchools meeting with our new Eco-Schools Action Group at @MCSOxford yesterday (online, against the odds of a staggered timetable!)
Over 30 young people passionate about improving sustainability in their school, community and wider world.

[Mr Marshall Geography @MarshallGeog]

The power of the #map on display unequivocally here. The spatial element to understanding #disease spread is clearly not new, but has undoubtedly been brought to the fore over the past year. Intersection of #Medicine and #Geography hugely interesting!

[Bodleian Libraries @bodleianlibs]

Most doctors believed that the disease was spread through miasma (‘bad air’).

John proposed that the cause was through the accidental ingestion of infected faeces through sewage-contaminated water.

He made this map in 1854. Cholera cases are highlighted in black.

[Mr Marshall Geography @MarshallGeog]

1) Flooded Thames towpath with floodplains in the background doing their thing, February 2021.
2) A good photo to prompt a bit of discussion on land use and how we manage flooding (and perhaps don’t always help ourselves...to put it lightly!)

[Mr Marshall Geography @MarshallGeog]

Inspiring from a former teacher of mine from days at @MCSOxford. It would be remiss of me not to mention here the influence of @StDunsHead as my 6th form Geography teacher and House Tutor on my path to being a Geography teacher today. If it wasn't apparent at the time - thank you

[Nicholas Hewlett @StDunsHead]

My thanks to @SianGriffiths6 for capturing the piece so well today. The fact that this is still news of course tells its own story, but if it can help just one young person feel more comfortable in their skin, it is surely an act worth doing.

Mouth Semeru has just erupted in Indonesia (16 January 2021).

Some v cool Geog to kick off Tuesday morning! #geography #volcanoes #meteorology

[Scott Duncan @ScottDuncanWX]

Impressive volcanic eruption on the island of Lembata, Indonesia 🇮🇩 yesterday at 9:45 am local time.

Ash column reached over 55,000 feet (17 km) into the atmosphere. The white cloud at the top is called Pileus.

For children especially, sport is so important for their physical and mental health.

Organisers have proven that it can be done in a secure way outdoors.

@OliverDowden - we'd love to see the evidence behind the ban. Let's please have some more common sense on this one.

[Mr Marshall Geography @MarshallGeog]

Some excellent background reading for Geographers here - or anyone interested in what is such an important issue. Would be v useful for Edexcel A GCSE Resource Mgmt and OCR A Level Water and Carbon topics.

The worlde kan be a terrible and uncertayn place sumtymes. Take care of ech othir. Take care of thyself. Remembir the good and the wondirful. Sing for strength. Poetrye as necessarye. Musique, mirthe, and kindness. Give helpe whan ye kan, and aske for helpe whan ye neede. Love.

[Magdalen College @magdalenoxford]

There is something generous about an avenue of trees.

The gardeners, like the medieval cathedral builders, toil and sweat knowing they will never see their creation complete.

Thank you. It's beautiful #magicmagdalen
