185 schools out of 411 have sent their flags in so far! Please remember I do all of these without an automated system. Flags need to be with me by the 20th November so that I can get them sent down to Antarctica 🇦🇶 #AntarcticFlags
Only 5 days remaining to get your flags to me! We have had over 400 schools signed up, but only around 130 have returned their flags so far!
Loved driving through the sunshine and fog this morning to visit a geography teacher at Bideford College for @swttexeter. Very much looking forward to a long sit down and 🍷 this evening mind!

Chances of keeping warming to 1.5°C target are gone. We’re on track for 3°C by end of century. Current global commitments would mean 2.8°C For avoidance of doubt that would result in economic, environmental and societal collapse. unep.org/resources/emis…

The @swttexeter geography trainees spent time today improving their substantive knowledge of rivers/coasts before exploring powerful knowledge. This was then linked to decolonising the curriculum (@DecoloniseGeog) and disasters not being natural (@IlanKelman). Busy morning!
October 2023 - September 2024 was the wettest hydrological year on record for the UK. 2023/24 average river flows were also the highest on record. Via nrfa.ceh.ac.uk/sites/default/…
We collaborated with @esriuk to create a set of free teaching resources, combining our #climate expertise and #UKCP data with their interactive maps & dashboards, for young people to learn more about how climate change will impact their local area
What are 2 well replicated and robust research-informed "best bets" for improving learning? 1️⃣ Spaced practice 2️⃣ Retrieval practice Include them both when you use the Leitner Flashcard Method with your pupils. Contact us for professional learning [email protected]
Took the @swttexeter geography trainees outside today to practice some onsite fieldwork. We also spent a lot of time talking about all things geography. Love my Fridays ❤️
It is there. Just. One day I will finally see it!
Very useful explainer from Sky News on the various elements of demography in the UK.

Okay, this is a wild stat. Tampa received 11.23" of rainfall on Wednesday from #Milton. Their previous wettest October 1-31st was 10.33" in 1922. THEY BROKE THE MONTHLY RECORD IN A SINGLE DAY.
My Y11 class today were pestering me all lesson for updates on Hurricane Milton, so of course the Windy app was used 🌀
#Milton is the fastest Atlantic hurricane to intensify from a Tropical Depression to a Category 5 Hurricane, taking just over 48 hours. This animation shows Milton as it intensified, with the heaviest rains (red) concentrated near the center. go.nasa.gov/3zUHi7Z

'...the Gulf of Mexico has been reaching record temperatures for much of this year, with its waters likened to a bathtub over the summer...Milton is passing over some exceptionally warm water, around...2C to 3C hotter than average...Milton is being turbocharged by excess heat...'
