Mnemonic Thirty days has September, April, June and November. Unless a leap year is its fate, February has twenty-eight. All the rest have three days more, excepting January, which has six thousand, one hundred and eighty-four.

This amazing little tool simply draws all streets in any city you want. As examples here are the town I grew up in (20k residents) and the city I live in (5M residents). Have a play with it. The exported screenshots make great desktop backgrounds. Source: buff.ly/2uht4vJ

Animated map shows human migration throughout history. Nice touch to have the map display relief data. I like how at 9 seconds humans hit the Himalayas and wisely decided to head eastwards. Source: buff.ly/3wvw4iX

Myndir úr þyrluflugi yfir gosstöðvarnar í dag. Þrjú hús við götuna Efrahóp í Grindavík gjöreyðilögðust í eldgosinu í gær. Myndatökumaður Stöðvar 2 myndaði gosstöðvarnar úr lofti úr þyrlu Landhelgisgæslunnar skömmu fyrir hádegi.

That lava barrier has been seriously effective. Massive credit to the workers that spent day and night constructing it for the past week or so, they've undoubtedly prevented many more properties in Grindavík from being engulfed by the lava.

Strong southerly winds will bring in mild air across many northern and western parts today A Foehn effect could lift temperatures across north Wales and northern Scotland to 15 or 16 Celsius 🌡️ More info on this can be found here: brnw.ch/21wGsmC.

Fabulous new resource on the Institute for Fiscal Studies site here, with a whole load of interactive charts showing what's happened to inequality, living standards and poverty in the UK (with all data available to download). ifs.org.uk/living-standar…

This is a really helpful approach - giving students independence and allowing them to think through the links when planning.

Love this! Type a word into this website and it generates Landsat images of that word with locations. Something for a #geographyteacher to help displays? landsat.gsfc.nasa.gov/apps/YourNameI…

What an amazing collection of EPQ projects, proudly presented by the Upper Sixth Students last week at the EPQ showcase. It was a pleasure to see so many speaking with such authority and passion about their work in their Lower Sixth Elective. #proudtobebgs BristolGrammarSchool
