And we are finished! Silver expedition is complete. All groups finished around 4pm and some very tired but relieved students crossed that finish line. Good perseverance to see it through. Plenty of time to get some sleep before school tomorrow #NoExcuses #silver #completedit

What delights! Even in the midst of lockdown (or perhaps because of it) this film is uplifting to watch.

Happy #EarthDay2020 🌍🌱 We wanted to share with you this film again from Winterwatch as today is a very special day. Nature is rich, it's diverse and it's for all of us. Let's make sure our planet continues to be the most beautiful place in our universe, together 💙 #EarthDay

First activity of field work done. The hydrosere never ceases to amaze and surprise. One or two muddy, wet feet but otherwise unscathed. Almost time to start data analysis........

Introduction to A level biology yesterday......... cell membrane models, new terminology and the jump from GCSE. Today the students will be investigating permeability.

[Sharnbrook Biology @Sharnbrookbio]

Well worth reading - topical for A level biologists, relevant for all. What is biodiversity and why does it matter to us? https://t.co/zCIVhTEu12
