Dear primary schools... Can we not send out HW on a Sunday, due for a Wednesday, in a terrible font you cannot read and written by AI? Thanks, Parents everywhere #EduSky

I do think eventually @ofstednews.bsky.social or @bphillipsonmp.bsky.social are going to have to say something about the risks around safeguarding that schools, the DfE and Ofsted themselves are running by remaining on Twitter when it is generating CSAM.

🌿 Take Me Outside Day! 🌿 What an incredible day of outdoor learning with our high school freshmen! More details in the Alt text. #TakeMeOutsideDay #OutdoorLearning #EnvironmentalEducation #ScienceInAction #InquiryBasedLearning #EcoSchools

Do your professional development trainings look like this?? What an awesome day out at Lake Norman State Park with the Schools in the Park Program. Working together to bring the outdoors into the classroom and the students out exploring State Parks! #outdoorlearning

I haven't written anything in years and I pretty much forgot about my blog. But reflecting on the past 4 years living in NC and teaching. My writer's block finally dissipated into something reflective of my journey here. #EduSky #EnvironmentalEducation #OutdoorLearning share.google/ywm8hgd2PtsQ...

I actually cried when I heard the news that Jane Goodall had died. She has had such an incredible impact throughout her life. A completely inspirational woman... ❤️

I've had to do the same... #EduSky

Out on 19th Sept - very excited to see it in print! Written by teachers for teachers. 🌍

Last night in the UK before my flight in the morning. Let out some energy by breaking in my new trail running shoes 👟

The heat really hits different here 🥵

Summer reading 🌞

Bought The Pebbles on the Beach book yesterday at Lynmouth and almost finished reading it. This morning we went to St Audrie's Waterfall and searched for pebbles and sea glass. This afternoon we are fossil hunting in Watchet after an amazing meal and some ciders at a local pub!

It’s going to take generations to undo the harm of this administration’s first 152 days.

I visited our native pollinator garden at school today to check on it before my flight and found monarch caterpillars on our milkweed! I created a little flyer with the photos to share the news with the community! #nativeplants #monarchs #pollinators #EduSky

Flights back to the UK tomorrow with the family! Really excited to visit friends and family and be able to walk everywhere 😅

I'm so excited to read this! 👏

My sign is ready #NoKingsDay

This native garden at a park I visit yesterday was absolutely stunning. Looking more closely, I actually became concerned. Could not see a pollinator in sight... #HappyPollinatorMonth #NativePlants

Southern Mountains of NC! We spent the day splashing through cold, clear streams, flipping rocks, and spotting salamanders in one of North Carolina’s beautiful state parks. 🦎 Handled wildlife with care—wet, clean and gentle hands.* *See Alt text for disclaimer. #Outdoorlearning

Getting the urge to call out of work and drive further north...

What an awesome day doing some PD for my EE Certification. This time we, explored the CATCH curriculum and ran activities for the community alongside NC Wildlife biologists. (Fishing was a plus!) Also, snuck in a visit to Haw River State Park on the way home! #OutdoorLearning #EE #EduSky

No lesson plans today, just enjoying the outdoors and nature with all my classes 💚🌿 What a beautiful campus we have! #EduSky #OutdoorLearning

The butterfly milkweed in our school native plant garden that we planted last spring is looking amazing 🧡🦋 #EduSky #SchoolGarden #OutdoorLearning

Enjoyed the cooler morning air out on our school Nature Trail this morning! We brought our binoculars and magnifying glasses to help us with our observations. Also enjoyed the new signs put in by our local Eagle Scouts! #EduSky #OutdoorLearning

Scholastic were getting rid of 100s of books from one of their warehouses. I got a cardboard box full of books for $20! Will be adding them to my classroom library to try and promote more reading! #EduSky #Literacy

I'm going back to teaching HS next year and want to build up a science classroom library. Every Friday, students can choose a book/article/podcasts to write a short summary on. Looking for book and podcast recommendations!! #EduSky #Highschool #Science #EarthScience #literacy #GeogChat

I really enjoyed doing these stations on the structure of the Earth for my 6th Grade classes. I'll be checking understanding and addressing misconceptions next week with feedback and consolidating their learning! #EduSky #EarthScience

After years of playing the Carbon Cycle Dice Game in my classroom, I upgraded it! Lots of inspo from Project Learning Tree with some locational (NC) related sides to the dice. I also add props like tree slices, coal samples, and other items they can observe at their stations. #EduSky #GeogChat

Did you know the Great Lakes region played a key role in shaping Earth Day? 🌎 Learn about how the region's activism and environmental challenges helped shape the conservation movement, thanks to local efforts and a Wisconsin senator’s vision. www.greatlakesnow.org/2025/04/how-...

Our Park Rangers are amazing! If you are an Environmental Educator or science teacher, make sure you connect with them! My local rangers allowed me to borrow these track molds so I can share them with my students! #EduSky #SaveOurParks

Tomorrow is #EarthDay! 🌍 Why not celebrate at school using one of our outdoor lesson ideas? We've linked three for you to try in the replies, but there are more activities available on our website, perfect for supporting learning about climate change, biodiversity, and sustainability in a fun way!

We are on Spring Break traveling around springs and beaches. My 2 y old has been up since 3 am demanding to go to the beach and saying "beach" in his sleep 🤣 The water is in his soul 🩵

The boys are playing in the back garden. My husband: can you come ID this snake for me so we know it's safe? Me: *picks up snake and moves it across the garden. * Him and the boys: 🤣🤣🤣

Was completely and utterly burnt out. So took my 1 and 1/2 day PTO I had left to drive 8 hrs with my 2 boys and get away. It's been the best decision. I used to feel guilty about taking time off teaching but I need to do this more for me and my family. ##EduSky

We are having such a great time at another Scout Camp. It was about 3C at night but 23 in the day! One more night to go!

I just need this, a stack of books, by myself in the middle of nowhere for a week with no technology or access to the outside world. Pleeeeaaaaase

Our geology unit is coming up soon, I'm stealing this for my lessons 🤣

I've been planning our school annual Earth Day celebration. Every year we have been inviting the same Rangers and Environmental Educators to come give talks and inspire our students. Over half of the emails I've sent have bounced back... I'm wondering if it's related to all these firings. #edusky

Breaks my heart...experiencing the same with relatives and their views on the department of education. I'm just brainwashing my students with climate science in this big conspiracy to lead them all astray 🙄

Very much this.

Timeline cleanse

Two days left to vote for @The_GA Journal Awards! I'm delighted that my tectonics article (using seismic tomography to take fieldtrips to the mantle) is in the final three. I would appreciate a vote from any GA member who found it helpful. Vote here: geography.org.uk/journals-res...

Happy Economic Blackout Day

Flights back to England for the summer bought!! 🥳

Nora virus, flu, RSV, Strep, and pneumonia are all making the rounds at the same time at my school. Can't we just close down and do a deep clean of the place 😭 #EduSky

Did you know that the Curious Geographer YouTube Channel has over 50 interviews with experts aimed at Secondary School Geography students? Looking to produce some more interviews this term in a slightly different model. What topics do you think students would like most? #geographyteacher

Last week we celebrated National Day for Women and Girls in Science. In the US, female scientists have their information removed from government websites, their contributions literally erased. But women in STEM in the US, and their sisters around the world, are having none of it...

Last summer, I spent a week with the US Forest Service at one of their training facilities. Their work is incredibly important. They are understaffed and underpaid. The news that 3,400 service members were fired today is absolutely insane. Including some of my friends. This is a disaster.
