Bucksburn Geography

“Does the Bucks Burn meet the characteristics of a river in its lower course?” Today S3 headed to the local burn to conduct fieldwork to find out! #hydrologistsinthemaking #DYW

As part of our agricultural topic S3s were out early conducting fieldwork. Their gathered data will answer the question ‘Which site is best for diversification?’ #outdoorlearning #autonomouslearning #geographyteacher

As part of our #agriculture unit, S3s looked at why bees are so important to UK farming. They then planted their own #wildflowers to help their declining numbers thanks to seed balls from @seed_ball @bbcbitesize #thegreenplanet #savethebees

Making revision fun 🤩 #snakesandladders #retrievalpractice #revision

Courses finished? Then it’s time to revise! This was a great activity to start with - mastering those trickier geographical terms. Thank you for sharing this great idea @_MissGilfillan #autonomoslearning #highergeography #revision

Come and see Scott performing a recital at St Andrew's Cathedral, King Street on Saturday 5 February at 12 noon. He's working hard to prepare his programme. #talented

Today’s classroom couldn’t get anymore geotastic! #steallfalls #outwardbound #scriptforsuccess @BucksburnAcad

The final bells have rung out on the shortest day of the year and our last day of term. Have a lovely, restful time everyone and enjoy these highlights from the last week. S1s #rainforest model making, @InstNeighbour pick up and Miss Findlay’s #sustainable #christmasjumper swap.

Thank you to everyone who handed in food for our @InstNeighbour food bank drive. The Global Goals group have done a great job organising this year's collection! #globalgoals #zerohunger

Stunning snap of Storm Barra from space. Not so much fun on the ground...

Did you know the majority of festive jumpers are worn just a handful of times before they end up in landfill? Stop the needless waste and take part in the festive jumper swap! See pics for details #Sustainability #HoHoHo #responsibleconsumption

What makes a double Geog lesson even better? A wee tea break of course #highergeography #teabreak

What a busy and geotastic term it’s been! S1s have been exploring our wonderful world, whilst S2s have just learnt about the catastrophic events of Pompeii as part of Dangerous World topic, and S3s are discovering our oceans, from the coastline to the deepest depths. #holidaytime

As part of our Natural Regions topic, S1 have taken a closer look at the people that live within the Arctic Circle. The 2020 Arctic Winter Games was unable to go ahead, however, 1C1 gave the games their best shot this morning! Here’s Jack doing the one foot high kick.

Another fantastic submission of work to round off our ‘my local area’ investigation. This time from Kai in S2, a lovely poem describing their area #literacyingeography #creative #literacy

To round off our ‘my local area’ investigation, pupils have been set a choice of tasks to complete. Well, they did not disappoint! Check out this collage of pictures taken by Sid in S1! I’m always so impressed with the results when students are given the freedom to be #creative

This cheered my day up nearly as much as it did Faye's in S1! #environmentalqualitysurvey #getoutside #learningforsustainability #fieldwork

Really enjoying #Jamboard to gather a quick snapshot of pupils take aways from online lessons. This week S2 were asked to share what fact surprised them the most once they had completed a desk based research task. Hopefully Abi will enjoy our next lesson more #humangeography
