There's going to be an increased level of uncertainty forecasting the UK's weather during the next fortnight.

Why?

As well as Hurricane Gabrielle, there's a high likelihood of two more storms developing in the coming days.

Really enlivened after our first online East London Geography Hub session for a number of years. So many great ideas. Just lovely to be able to indulge in some geography chat! Watch this space for more info on next steps! 🌍

Our annual field trip brought the full range of British weather, but Year 10 showed real resilience! Students collected urban and coastal data in Norwich and Cromer, and even got a taste of university life with a campus tour of @uniofeastanglia.

A great day
Thank you to the great geography PGCE students for a great day of fieldwork and GIS @UniofReading. Our year 8 students had a great day collecting fieldwork data around the campus and then working in the IT suite analysing their data and presenting their findings to the group. Thanks @TeachwithGeogs

This was a fantastic day, great fieldwork and great cross-phase collaboration across two very contrasting schools.

Today, our Year 9 Geography Leadership students immersed themselves in fieldwork at Spitalfields Market. Collaborating with @OngarSchool. A big thank you to @RGS_IBG for championing this project through the #FrederickSoddySchoolsAward. #NationalFestivalofFieldwork.

Really enjoyed exploring High Ongar with year 5. I found out a lot I didn’t know about the village. Excited to be going with the children to Spitalfields this week, along with yr 9 to collaborate & explore a contrasting urban landscape. #nationalfestivaloffieldwork

An excellent afternoon!
Year 7 & 12 students led a geography fieldwork session at Gearies Primary today, helping Year 6s collect data to find the best spot for a new picnic bench. Great leadership, collaboration & real-world learning! 🌍🧭 #TeamOaks #GeographyInAction @denisefreeman.bsky.social

A great first day of urban fieldwork for our A Level Geographers in Manchester! Students have started gathering data for their NEA projects with real enthusiasm. Next stop: Salford Quays tomorrow—looking forward to more hands-on learning and urban exploration! 🌆🗺️

Lots of excellent fieldwork in Salford and Manchester today. Our geographers were investigating their own research topics including the plans for a new Manchester United stadium, inclusive urban redevelopment and the impact of culture on place making.

Up next: The Lake District 📷📷

1. In 2024 the @geographicalassoc.bsky.social Conference was in Manchester. I loved exploring the city and went back to school suggesting it as a ln A Level fieldwork destination. 2025 and here we are! Doing some great NEA investigations. Lots of ideas coming from the students.

Super interesting to collaborate, research and write with the wonderful @denisefreeman.bsky.social! In this paper, we focus on the relationships between geography education and citizenship by considering children's rights in, and to, the city in London www.tandfonline.com/doi/epdf/10....
