Any teachers, that work full time and live in/near the Midlands ever successfully managed a Glastonbury weekend? I am desperate to go and every year say no because teaching is so inflexible but I can't cope much longer 😫 I need this experience in my life!

[Amy Allen @MissAllenGeog]

@geographyrocks Thank you, not seen that one!

[Amy Allen @MissAllenGeog]

Any ideas for a documentary to help year 8 with the glaciation topic please? TIA #edutwitter #geographyteacher

[Amy Allen @MissAllenGeog]

Marking my year 10 mocks over the last couple of weeks has, on the whole been a pleasure. So proud of them!

[Amy Allen @MissAllenGeog]

First night in forever I've not had to do any marking 🙌🏼 The summer holidays need to begin soon please, I'm ready for ya!

[Amy Allen @MissAllenGeog]

I need to plan a SOW based on 'south-east Asia' I don't know where to start, thinking definitely something about Indonesian rainforest but not sure what else. If anyone could help I'd be so greatful and if I have anything to offer in return please let me know #geographyteacher

It’s times like this I question why teachers are flocking to the Middle East in their droves. I mean, who would ever want good wages, no tax, free accommodation, fab CPD, well behaved students, world class facilities, free private child education, great weather and low crime?

Dry ground takes more time to soak up water following a #heatwave than if it were during a normal summer.
This experiment shows how heavy rainfall following an extended period of extreme heat could lead to flooding.

2 days left! 🙌🏼 I can nearly see the light at the end of the long tunnel that has been this half term!

Best chernobyl film/documentary for year 9's please? #humanitiesteacher #geographyteacher

[Mr Pughsley🌍📚🌳 @ScottPughsley]

Sometimes I think I’d love to teach primary, then I go to a kids birthday party and realise I’d rather peel a cactus with my tongue.

[Amy Allen @MissAllenGeog]

@Mrs_C_Geog I started wearing period pants last month. I was very skeptical at first but they have been such a game changer!

[Amy Allen @MissAllenGeog]

So that's it... I've officially handed my notice in at my first school, 5 years nearly done. I'm sad and happy and so excited to start at a new school in September!

[Amy Allen @MissAllenGeog]

Doesn't matter. I didn't get it anyway, I undersold myself, I think my main problem was that I don't know if I actually wanted it so wasn't 100% invested. All good experience though!

[Amy Allen @MissAllenGeog]

I'm currently part time 4 days a week with a 2.5 year old in nursery. Will going to 5 days and HOD be too much?! Can I do it?! Arghhh!

[Amy Allen @MissAllenGeog]

I've had a HOD interview today. And I'm so nervous to hear back. Partly because I'm scared to actually be offered it! I'm not sure what do do...

[Amy Allen @MissAllenGeog]

@shiv_teaching @GeogIanPort Lovely! Thanks for replying with the examples and ideas!

[Amy Allen @MissAllenGeog]

Geography in the news lessons?! How does everyone else work them? What have been your most successful ones and why? Does anyone have any examples of them that they wouldn't mind sharing with me please? #geographyteacher

[Amy Allen @MissAllenGeog]

@jc4_ed @GeogIanPort Fab. Thank you for the ideas!

[Amy Allen @MissAllenGeog]

@viewoverbelfast Thanks. That's lovely!

[Amy Allen @MissAllenGeog]

I want to get my year 11 tutor group something before they leave after half term, I've had them since year 7 and am going to miss them so much, so really want to give them something they can remember... But I'm skint and not very creative. Please help!
