Congratulations to Annabel from The Maynard School who is the 1st winner of our branch competition. Her winning entry had links to both physical + human geography, but also reflected on what Devon means to her. Thank you to the schools that entered and we look forward to seeing more next year.

Crawled to the end of term today. But this was an excellent reward 🎂

So very excited and humbled to have been nominated to be @geographicalassoc.bsky.social President 2027-28. If you'd like to use your vote for me I would be very honoured. geography.org.uk/election-ga-...

I am really looking forward to the @geographicalassoc.bsky.social conference. My Y9 classes have been using sustainability stools to decide how sustainable it is to modernise salt mining in Ethiopia. I'll be sharing how I have used these throughout our curriculum in my session.

An evening listening to @guyshrubsole.bsky.social and others in Exeter was inspiring. So lovely to hear positive stories about the environment, and what is being done to protect our temperate rainforest. Left with so many ideas to update our lesson about temperate rainforest 🌳🌧

My 2nd Teaching Geography article (the last one was over 10 years ago...),so I'm feeling pretty proud today 🤓

What a day to have a fieldtrip, and it was my birthday 😍 😎 ☀️ ⛱️ #geographyteacherperks

Such a good time chatting all things geography after a busy day at school today. Huge thanks to everyone who came along, and here's hoping for more next time!

Thank you to @geogenquirer.bsky.social and @ga-exeter.bsky.social for making me so welcome to your first meeting. It was great to hear Matt talk & chat to other passionate geographers.

Loved my first session with my geography trainees last week. Some brilliant freebies for them from @geographicalassoc.bsky.social, brand new subject knowledge booklets I worked on last year, and new handouts to reduce their cognitive load. Fridays are the best 👌

A bit of Geography at bedtime 🌎 🌍 🌏

One thing I've noticed from my review of the department this term is that students are unclear as to what they need to do to improve. So post mocks Y10s today, colour coded the exam qs to identify areas of improvement.

Y11 spent some time today analysing an 8 mark exam question. They used three colours to spot the key criteria and examiner would look for: chains of reasoning, key terms and TLAG (thinking like a geographer) 🤔

This was my charity shop haul inspired by @fiona-sheriff.bsky.social 📚🌍

Fieldwork yesterday was ☀️ 💙
