Amazing work from 7IM and 7SR on their recycled Christmas decorations. I think the tin can angel is my favourite!

Day 2 of GCSE fieldwork. Grateful that the sun is shining. A lovely day to be identifying coastal processes

Great talk from the Jubilee Library about the sustainability of the library, using eco-friendly methods as well as being a socially inclusive space.

[Blatch Geography @blatchgeog]

Physical Fieldwork completed. Students have shown great resilience in the rain and their work has been fantastic so far. Now onwards to the centre of Brighton to do some work on sustainability.

Amazing 'UK in the C21' dioramas in Yr11 revision this afternoon.

[Blatch Geography @blatchgeog]

Back at Blatch. Miss Sherwin and Mr Seltzer have had a lovely afternoon in the company of a brilliantly well behaved group of year 9s who asked fantastic, interesting questions. A fabulous trip all round.

[Blatch Geography @blatchgeog]

Some fantastic views of our distinctive landscape on our way back.

[Blatch Geography @blatchgeog]

Almost back at the marina. What a great experience seeing the wind farm up close (and in such glorious sunshine!). The views of Brighton on the way back to shore are stunning this afternoon.

[Blatch Geography @blatchgeog]

Visiting the central power barge. All of the energy generated by the wind turbines is sent here via underwater cables. It is then sent to the land from Worthing to Bolney where it joins the National Grid #Rampion

[Blatch Geography @blatchgeog]

Each blade is 55m long and weighs 12 tonnes! Our students have had a great discussion with our skipper about how this wind farm is both economically and environmentally sustainable.

[Blatch Geography @blatchgeog]

The electricity generated by the #Rampion wind farm is enough to power half of the homes in Sussex.

[Blatch Geography @blatchgeog]

Getting closer #Rampion. Each of these 116 turbines is 140m in height!!

[Blatch Geography @blatchgeog]

The views aren’t too bad either!! #Rampion
