Downe House Geography

It was a pleasure to be involved in the school's Making a Difference (MAD) day. The Geography team and our fabulous students led activities in the beautiful woodland which are part of our school grounds #MakeaDifferenceDay @DowneHouse

Fantastic start to the 2023 Hazards Conference in London which our UVI Geographers are attending. Dr Martin Degg posed the question was the 2023 Gazientep earthquake, just 'history repeating itself?' @DowneHouse #HazardConf

Our 'Geography in Action' conference in collaboration with Radley College showcased our stunning grounds through different fieldwork activities. I am so proud of all the staff and students involved. @DowneHouse #outdoorlearning

This is going to be mega! Really looking forward to sharing how we’ve looked to work on teacher and curriculum development — we don’t have it all figured out, but we’re keen to share what we have tried and discuss it. @InspirationEast @MrCarterTTA

The Lower Sixth Geographers are back in Slapton investigating urban regeneration for their first day of fieldwork! As ever they have a sense of humour despite the weather...

Today our year 10 geographer helped students from Year 3, St Mark's Cold Ash with their megacity project. The girls were interviewed about the 7 different megacities they live in. It was a fun session for all involved ! @downehouse1

Empowering our Remove #Geography students @DowneHouse to develop their geographical skills using #MinecraftEDU to create amazing contour maps. Students enjoyed using @PlayCraftLearn to build mountains🏔️ and there are no limits to how high they can climb!

Today the UV have been practising their fieldwork skills on the River Chess

This is Florence with her winning 'Bug Vegas' bug box creation! She started this in a Discovery Day session run by the Geography Department for our local primary school St Marks. We are so impressed with her design!

Miss Rawlinson was thrilled to visit the St Marks's Cold Ash to teach Reception class about volcanoes this week. The students then went on to create some impressive pieces based on what they had learnt! @DowneHouse

Some truly revolting weather here on the Devon coast for our A Level Geographers, but our DH girls always make a fieldwork day fun! @DowneHouse @FSCSlaptonLey

The LV have been creating erosional landform models this week. It has ended up getting a bit competitive! This is Miss Rawlinson's class attempt. @downehouse1

The first #RadleyShells seminar with @DowneHouse looks at how Coronavirus has affected people and place on a global scale. Excellent student engagement and thought provoking discussion @RadleyLinks @RadleyGeography #RadleyPartnerships #RadleyGeography #RadleyAcademic

Our UIV Geographers are enjoying a Geography Conference today at Radley College. @DowneHouse1

Creating a ‘soundscape’. Just one of the data collection methods our girls are learning today at FSC Amersham #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek @downehouse1

A fantastic day out at the seaside for the LVI preparing for their own NEA investigations with the wonderful Barry from @GeofieldworkLtd

We are back out on fieldwork! LVI coastal fieldwork day down in sunny Dorset @downehouse1
