Pupils carried our Environmental Quality Surveys in various parts of the city and collected data to help assess place perception. They also assessed The Cross streets, Barton St and The Quays using the NEF Clone Tow/Home Town survey.

Then it was a change of scene - swapping the city for the coast down at Porlock Weir. Yesterday L6th carried out sediment analysis with brilliant guidance from Ed Nettlecombe Court

We were so lucky with the weather and the L6th got to practise methods they may wish to use in their individual NEAs #fieldwork

Today we were collecting carbon data in two areas of woodland on the Nettlecombe Court estate enabling us to compare carbon sequestration in sycamore and oak trees. It was wet, it was muddy but we were not deterred! 👊🏼 🌳 🌳🌳

This looks good for #geographyteachers & #NEA "You simply input your postcode or name of an area you are thinking of moving to, say, & you can explore, download and map all kinds of statistics that tell you something about what living there is like" Spatially variable (Prof Rich Harris) 🌍🌎🌏 @GeogBristol

Group photo - the outtakes. Thanks to Peggy the dog who had much more energy than our L6th by this point in the day 😂

So looking forward to welcoming Paul James to speak to use about the regeneration of Gloucester today!

Huge infrastructure project at the Air Balloon roundabout (can we still call it that now the pub has been demolished?). The “missing link” has been talked about for many, many years and it’s well underway.

A huge thank you to Paul James for his excellent talk about the redevelopment of Gloucester. Brilliant links to our curriculum and important to know how things have changed, and continue to change, in our city. It was lovely to welcome geographers from Denmark Road High School too!

One couldn’t ask for a more comprehensive book about the regeneration of Gloucester. Very glad to have a copy of Believing in Gloucester by Paul James for our department library!

What a brilliant evening taking part in the GlosGeog Worldwise Quiz! Our two teams did us proud and had a great time answering questions on volcanoes, sport, fieldwork and more. Thanks to Dean Close School for hosting and thanks to Charlie B in U6th for the quiz coaching!

According to the Arctic Report Card, the Arctic tundra has shifted from a carbon sink, which it has been for a millennia, into a carbon dioxide source, while also remaining a methane source. More: climate.gov/news-features/… (2/8)
