Lovely images of the sea defences…and some students working hard 🤣 Great day of fieldwork.

More beach fieldwork. Looking at evidence of coastal processes. Some good sampling techniques on display 👍🏼

Look what we found lying around!

A morning of hard work collecting fieldwork data on the beach. Relieved to have dry(ish), calm weather.

Exploring the yellow dunes at St Anne’s 👌🏼🤓

Gracie has some big mussels!!

Happy faces having fun exploring the dunes

Time to draw a field sketch of the dune system.

Time to stop down near St Anne’s to look at the sand dunes.

Very different to being out last week. A lot calmer today!

What a day to be back out on fieldwork… chucking it down at school, but it’s fine and dry on Fleetwood Beach!

Fieldwork part 2 and we’re off to Fleetwood to look at the new and old sea defences. Great determination to collect data in difficult weather conditions. We love fieldwork.

Year 11 GCSE field visit. Brilliant being out at the sand dunes in St Anne’s. Lots of wind 💨 blowing the sand across the beach. Perfect day for theory of sand dune formation 🤓

A brilliant write up about our recent trip to Iceland is now on the school website - well done to Tate in year 11! 🇮🇸 st-aidans.lancs.sch.uk/news-events/ne…

One to share now we’re all safely home, but there were some rather interesting driving conditions in Iceland. If it was like this driving behind a snow plough in the UK the entire country would have ground to a halt!

Just coming through Pilling towards school now. What a great bunch of students to take away. Enjoy the rest of the half term! 👌🏻 #OverAndOut

Probably will be at school around 2:45 now, so a tad earlier than expected!

So, Iceland 2024 🇮🇸 is all but done. Lots of fun had and memories made. Big thanks to @terrarob101 @NSTGeography for guiding us round, but massive thanks for this amazing team of staff for giving up family and holiday time to help me and make the trip possible!

Just left Gretna services. Current ETA at school is 3pm (subject to traffic) Will keep you updated but aim for then and please don’t park in the bus stop!
