Awesome modelling by Year 8 today, showing how land at the coast is shaped by erosional forces from waves, tides and currents. Forget computers - this is proper 3D modelling at its finest!

Let’s see how engaged you really are. If this tweet gets 50 likes by 8.30am tomorrow morning, @MissHealdKBA will do the ‘Braveheart Shuffle’ during the assembly tomorrow💃🏻

Day two commencing. Off to Stratford and Spitalfields today. Two different forms of regeneration to explore! #kbageog #londonregeneration

@RachelBladon @KBuccleuchA We love this!! Well done guys!

3b have loved learning all about the layers of the earth and how hot it is! #geography @KBuccleuchA

bbc.co.uk/news/science-e… One of the biggest contributors to greenhouse gas emissions: dairies. What can they do to achieve these ambitious targets?

bbc.co.uk/news/world-asi… "Where there's muck, there's brass...." India becoming a world leader at reusing and recycling what we chuck out...

bbc.co.uk/news/science-e… So year 9 - you wanted to know about impacts of global food production (think: Resource Management unit)….?

And to those who tell you Geography is redundant - tell them: This is what Geographers do - we research, we present facts, we suggest actions. Basically we save the world. It's a tough job, but Geographers are up to it.

bbc.co.uk/news/science-e… Here we are. At last, a report that does not hold back on what environmental damage will do to society, to governments, to economies... Will governments accept their part in changing people's views/actions...?

bbc.co.uk/news/science-e… Good news indeed! 42% drop since 1990! Power stations using fossil fuels have been closed, which helps. But is it right/helpful to say to other countries, "if we can do it, you can..."?

bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan… Much easier way to deal with this, which doesn't involve digging ditches alongside rivers! A slight alteration to farming practices: buffer strips, ploughing direction, less artificial fertilisers. @EnvAgency been advocating this for decades!

bbc.co.uk/news/science-e… Remember when you looked at Resource Management (including how food is produced)? Remember when we discussed climate change? Well here's how the two link. Very interesting reading for Yr9, 10 and 11.

Right then, Geog students: You want a great 2019? Earn it. Research. Study. Revise. Practice. You can and will make this the best year that KBA has ever had. Because you're awesome. Enjoy the rest of your holiday (but get some revision done).

It’s official: 2018 will rank as one of the 5 warmest years in history. The last cooler-than-normal year, based on the 20th century average, was way back in 1976. If you’re younger than 42 years old, you’ve never known a world that wasn’t overheating. grist.org/article/its-ne…

Here we are then. Year 2's frankly awesome map work, up in our Secondary classroom. This helps our GCSE students to recognise what a great map looks like. Well done 2A, and thanks again for letting us have them. You guys rock! #ExcellenceIsAHabit #Geography @KBuccleuchA

Right then, year 8- this is EXACTLY what we were studying in our Coasts work: how erosional processes form caves, arches, stacks and stumps! Watch it!!

Holy cow....

bbc.co.uk/news/science-e… Right then. Plan A was to cut the amount of greenhouse gases we are pumping in to the atmosphere. Plan A ain't working. So on to Plan B: sucking 12 billion tonnes of carbon out of the atmosphere. All we (you) have to do is figure out how to do that... Go!

Whaddya reckon? Sick of me posting stuff? I do this because these are the problems that you - YOU, GEOGRAPHERS - will need to solve. Or we all die. Read, learn, think, solve. We're all counting on you. No pressure. #GeographersSaveLives

bbc.co.uk/news/science-e… Whaddya reckon? Are we gonna get warmer? Or is it all just a load of hot air?
