Well done all, some great urban knowledge demonstrated for the exam and excellent geographical thinking put into action! 🏙️ 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Higher geography students did a great job looking out for problems and solutions to traffic and the built environment in Glasgow city centre today 🏠 🏢🚘 🏭🚆 🚇 🏚️ @LHS_Humanities @LarbertHigh

🐄 A big thank you to @rhetfvci for organising a trip to Norrieston farm for the geographers at @LarbertHigh, and to the owners and staff who have really helped their understanding of the changes in farming across rural Scotland, along with giving lots of new career ideas!🚜

#Arran Day 2 - great start to the data collection! More rivers, beaches and soils to be measured today with @MrsFyfeLHS taking over from me! Here’s a wee video taken in between site drop offs and collections yesterday! ☀️ Keep up the great work! @LHS_Humanities @LarbertHigh

@LHSLanguages @LHS_Humanities @LarbertHigh Keeping my fingers crossed that the weather holds out for you! Absolutely stunning in the sunshine. Mr M described it as a ‘thin place’ - which seems perfect.

@Mr_Delap @LHS_Humanities @LarbertHigh Looks like you’ve cracked it with the weather this week! Always incredibly jealous when you head over to my happy place - slightly less so this year as I’m heading over at the weekend!

We’re off for a week for fieldwork on Arran with a great team who are excited to get started!! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @LHS_Humanities @LarbertHigh

End of day one! ☀️ We’ve seen some wonderful landscapes here on Arran, scouted some potential areas of study and had a recap of our field study skills. We’re all set to start data collection tomorrow morning! @LHS_Humanities @LarbertHigh

Higher environmental science students created some wonderful models of sand dune succession in this student lead activity. Great work! 👏🏼🏝️🌳🌊 #EnvironmentalScienceTeacher #GeographyTeacher @LHS_Humanities

Downpatrick Head - great example of a coastal landscape. 🇮🇪 💦 🌊 #GeographyTeacher

@Kirsty3818 Jetty, Jungle Karst, kettle hole X …? 🤷🏼‍♂️

Little project on the go... Help me out geographers...juicy geography word beginning with 'J', 'K', and 'X'... I promise to show you it when it's done. #geography #geographyteacher #ideas #literacy #subjectspecific

@Jenniferrrls @S2Yearteam @LHS_Humanities FlipaClip App 👍🏻

@Mr_Delap @S2Yearteam @LHS_Humanities How did you do this?

S2 ESA showing their understanding of how #meanders and #oxbow lakes form and shape the landscape. #Rivers @S2Yearteam @LHS_Humanities

🌍 A superb group of environmental scientists out investigating their local ecosystems today. 🌳 🐛 🍃 A wide range of #biodiversity uncovered while learning how to use the tools of the trade. 💯 👏🏼 @LHS_Humanities

@TurnbullGeog @S3LHSYT @LHS_Humanities FlipaClip! It’s great!

@Mr_Delap @S3LHSYT @LHS_Humanities This is fab! 👏🏻 What app did you use?

🌊 S3 geographers showing of their digital skills and understanding of coastal features! @S3LHSYT #GeographyTeacher @LHS_Humanities

@MrSimpsonGeo @MissDavisBBHS @S3LHSYT @LHS_Humanities Hi 👋🏼 The app is flipaclip. I show students how to do it on my iPad, they seem to get the idea fairly quick. The key is to do the main picture well, then copy and paste as you go making small change on each slide. It’s very straight forward after you play with it for a while!

@MissDavisBBHS @Mr_Delap @S3LHSYT @LHS_Humanities Yes please for me too! Always like to push my young people - this would be great!

🌍 If you’re interested in showing #BBC’s #WildIsles to students to highlight importance of nature in the British Isles, here are a few worksheets to go alongside each episode 🐛 🦉 🌲 🐑 🦞 #GeographyTeacher #EnvironmentalScience drive.google.com/file/d/1lsiHLb…

🌍 🐞 🐛 ESA students demonstrating their team working, communication and creativity skills today as we set up pit fall traps and created bug hotels to examine, and help protect, the creatures lurking in our local living #environment! 🐜 🐌 👏🏻 @LHS_Humanities

🦉 ESA students had their visit to @ScotOwl today. A fun and informative day had by all! 😁 We uncovered food webs, species variety, threats to owls (pesticides, deforestation, climate change, hunting etc) and what can be done to help! 🌍 @S1LHSYT @LHS_Humanities @LarbertHigh

♻️ ESA working hard to make their local environment look a lot better! 🌍 A good haul for a single period - clearly a lot of work to do to help educate people on litter prevention! Looking forward to another clean up day with @hOurWorldLHS @S1LHSYT @LHS_Humanities #JohnMuirAward
