Excited to read this in Spring 2026 of @The_GA Intl jornal - lots of petrochemical influence in the classroom that needs identifying and phasing out, before reading about HSR inequalities in Henan Province, China - something I doubt #HS2 has considered... 💚✌️🌍

Whoooo! Happy Examiner Contract Acceptance Day to all who celebrate!! #CozWeLoveMarking #GeographyTeacher #EdexcelB @PearsonEdexcel

BREAKING: QatarEnergy just declared Force Majeure. Three words that mean: we cannot deliver, and legally, we do not have to. This is no longer a supply disruption. This is a contract collapse. Force Majeure is not a precaution. It is a formal legal declaration that an unforeseeable event beyond QatarEnergy’s control has made fulfillment impossible. Every affected buyer just had their contract voided. The gas they were counting on is gone, and they have no legal recourse to get it back. 82% of Qatar’s LNG goes to Asia. China relies on Qatar for 30% of its LNG imports. India 42 to 52%. South Korea 14 to 19%. Taiwan 25%. Japan is already rationing to spot markets. Asian benchmark prices jumped 39% the day production stopped. Force Majeure just made that permanent until further notice. Indian companies have already cut gas supplies to industry by 10 to 30%. That is not a market adjustment. That is factories running at reduced capacity today, across the world’s most populous continent, because Iran sent drones into Ras Laffan. Here is the number the market still has not fully absorbed. Two weeks to restart a liquefaction train after a full cold shutdown. Then two more weeks to reach full capacity. That is a minimum of four weeks at zero, assuming no further strikes, no security complications, no inspection delays. The war is still running. There is no security guarantee. There is no restart timeline. There is no floor. Every LNG contract in Asia just became a spot market problem. Every spot market problem just became an inflation problem. Every inflation problem just became a central bank problem. This started as a war in the Middle East. It is now inside every factory, every power plant, and every gas bill across Asia. Price that chain. open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

Absolutely this

@fiona_616 Yes - the kid did this when in Y10 so 2019, so much fun!

Model UN - have any of my friends done it in their school? Looking for hints, tips, advice! #GeographyTeacher #ModelUN

@kate_stockings @CentreforCities This goes nicely with an Insta post I saw earlier that separates the UK as Wind remewables v Solar renewables - the South is Solar, linking the 10 cities with the lowest emissions being in the south for heating purposes - I'll try and add it here

More geography teacher gold-dust from the @CentreforCities Cities Outlook 2026 report ✨ Each of these graphics links to what we teach at GCSE and ensures our subject knowledge (& thus teaching) is as up to date as it needs to be 👩🏻‍🏫

@LeeBraganza I have done little to nothing of what I thought I would get done this half term!! Bahhh!

Expectation: Use half term to catch up on life and finally sleep. Reality: Didn’t touch my laptop, still woke up feeling like I got hit by 100 samosas.

@lehain @nicolajharvey Yes, the verbs with être as the auxiliary therefore they need to conjugate according to gender

@nicolajharvey Yes! And wasn't there something about... MR VANS TRAMPED..?

Does anybody out there have a copy of the first edition of the Tricolore 1 textbook that those of us who learnt French in the 80s & 90s enjoyed? Was all based around the city & people of La Rochelle. Ah, memories!!

Therapist: "So, what do you think is the root of your childhood Trauma". Me:

@Miss_S_Gibbons Definitely feeling this today 🫶

I need to do marking and I just can’t be bothered 🤦🏽‍♀️

@lehain Oh I am sure I have a copy at my parents house somewhere!! What a memory ✌️

@TeachWithAlice Ah this is spot on!

Today with my lower band Y8 (Y7 in Eng) we turned to creative writing (not just for English lessons!) but instead using OS map symbols to help to tell their stories 🗺️📍 Was so pleased with how they did!

@sciencegirl 🤢

That fresh smell after rain is called petrichor. When raindrops hit dry soil, they release plant oils and geosmin from bacteria, creating that rich, earthy scent.

@RobGeog @AstreaErnulf Love a Banbury Flood mention - always amazes me that people study my town 🤣

Great to be back in the classroom at @AstreaErnulf today with Year 11 scholars working on GCSE Revision #gcse #geography #revision. What a super bunch! :)

First one gotta fail, thems tha rules!!! #PancakeDay #InSeasonShriving

@DeputyGrocott Move them all up and pop a 5th. With more butter though and salad cream ✌️

Are 4 the perfect amount of fish fingers for a sandwich or would you squeeze a fifth down the side?
