And that’s aimed at the #GeographicalAssociation @stevebracegeog.bsky.social! I know there are some fieldwork exemplars already on the site but a clickable map showing how schools use their distinctly unique places would be so interesting.

Thank you @geographicalassociation

On Friday I joined #GAConf26 in Sheffield and presented a session exploring links between the primary science and geography curricula - the obvious and nuanced ones, the disciplinary skills, and some great resources to support teaching and learning in both.
