I drop back into Twitter from time to time. The amount of right wing, fascist, neo-nazi, pro-Russian garbage on there is alarming. I’m all for a balanced dialogue, but that isn’t it. That’s hate, and bots and manipulation.

My visualiser is vital in this process. All our kids have their own mini whiteboards with them as well which allows them to have prompts and sentence starters written next to them.
I need to get better and balancing the ratio of time between the three elements.

Inside one of the world's largest heat pumps.

Look at this monster of a heat pump using sea water as a heat source and feeding heat into the local district heating system.

It's been snowing in the UK and the road gritters are out in force, begging the question:
Have you ever wondered where that grit actually COMES from?
The answer is more magical, beautiful and fascinating than you probably realised.

1: There is a real need to define the role & purpose of education & schools. Once defined, fund it accordingly. At present the volume of things schools should do is ever growing & the narrative around the purpose of education ever increasingly grey

My SLT constantly put pressure on staff to close the DA gap without any actual strategy to do so (although we were told this week to mark the books of DA kids first - that’ll defo help….).

A volcano near the now evacuated Icelandic town of GrindavΓ­k has woken up after 800 years. But why has it started erupting again now? How long can the lava barriers protect homes? And what is going on underground? 8 Oct at the Ri & online! #ALD24 https://findingada.com/events/

Had my favourite fieldwork at Dawlish Warren ruined by two chaps who just walked off from the group. Followed by a parent of one of them insinuating it was my fault!
At least it didn’t rain! #geogchat
