@MrGeographer @Edexcel_Geog @PearsonEdexcel And now the TES are reporting on it and they can't identify the difference between the Republic of Congo and the DRC. What hope is there of breaking down the stereotypes and misconceptions surrounding the continent that is Africa @tes

@tes @EnserMark As a fellow Geography HoD who has discovered D&D in the past year I couldn't agree more. I was chatting this morning with our DM about how people are unpredictable and his story may not progressed (thinking how it was a lot like working in a school). Then come home to read this!

@EnserMark This reminds me of all the work I did on "life after levels" about 5 years ago trying to create a description for each grade was mind bending, I ended up with the same descriptors moving from "with support" to "independently" and finally "accurately"

@QuigleyBecki We are 'striving for excellence' I even have a pin badge that I picked up at Banksy's Dismaland that I wear with pride around the department. The team love it and it's a simple message that everyone can articulate.

Miss Keeling took on @MrRichWimbledon Kingdown Menu Challenge this week and decided to create a wild lockdown hairstyle. We've had loads of entries for the Geography challenge so keep an eye on Twitter and Insta @kingdownschool #pinkhair #pink #lockdownchallenge

@aquasaki @kate_stockings Drop me a DM and I can email one over. I'm on a course for a few days but can sort next week.

[Practical Pedagogy @keelingkd]

@kate_stockings Yep I used the new specs as an opportunity to centrally plan giving each member of staff 2 or 3 lessons a unit to plan and take ownership of and 'train' up everyone else. Now we add new resources to the lesson plan as we find them and email each other tips.

@JamesTGallagher It is worth considering the reason for the gender difference in infection rates may be in part down to the gender imbalance in China caused by the one child policy? The current sex is 1.1male/female.

@STCadventures with @treesforlifeuk have planted 16 trees to mitigate the Sweden trip travel footprint, more will be planted after Morocco @kingdownschool @sweden20191 #carbonmitigation #ethicaltravel #responsibletourism https://t.co/W8ZSoxSNTw
