@FHSBristol smooth ferry journey and now making our way through France and into Belgium for a day of WWI history. First stop Sanctuary Wood and Hill 52 to see British trenches preserved as they were found in 1918!

[Fairfield Humanities @fhshumanities]

Our journey to Belgium is underway! Two coach loads of Y7 students are making their way along the M4. Next stop Dover!

[Fairfield Humanities @fhshumanities]

We are excited for our Year 7 trip to France and Belgium leaving late this evening! We'll be sharing updates throughout the next few days. For any students attending, remember to arrive to the bottom car park at 11:50pm and make sure you bring a towel.

Flip-flop boats, ‘trashion’ and the Bag Monster: the art of discarded plastic – in pictures https://t.co/w9rw7mDHSr

The last time Earth's climate changed this fast was when it got hit by an asteroid about 66 million years ago. Nothing else comes close.

Aside from blast impacts and a few cold years, the asteroid left nothing like the devastation humanity is leaving to this mangled planet.

This ecocide as a continuation of Russias unprovoked full-scale invasion of Ukraine is yet another atrocity which leaves the world lost for words. Our eyes are once again on Russia who must be held accountable for their crimes.

Sea surface temperature (SST) craziness has returned to the North Atlantic.

Covering daily data for 44 years (15,119 days), the North Atlantic SST anomaly just equaled the previous record level set on May 14th at 0.891°C above the 1982-2023 mean.

Climate Action needs to be the new normal - every fraction of a degree of heating is another Pacific Island Nation underwater, another violent land/water conflict in the Global South, another species lost.

@MikeWillden @BBCFLauraKT This is not a war, with neutral countries, allies and enemies. Migration is a global human process. Why can’t application be processed with migrants in UK?

Continuing our collaboration with @BristolCouncil discussing air quality in the city. Thanks to Cathy and Megan from Active Travel for sharing their work to improve air quality in Bristol.

[Fairfield Humanities @fhshumanities]

@PaulGarvey4 Yes. And it’s a hideous process.

[Fairfield Humanities @fhshumanities]

Fairfield Ecoteam very much walking the walk today. Very proud to play our part in planting 2500 trees on Purdown. Fighting global climate change and enhancing biodiversity in our local area. @FHSBristol
