Field sketches are such a fantastic method for students to learn as they can used for any geographical topic. They also provide a moment of calm, quiet connection with nature in an otherwise busy fieldwork day. Where's your favourite spot to field sketch? #fieldwork #geography

Many schools I work with say they have throw ropes but don't know how to use them... if you are doing rivers #fieldwork this term I urge you to watch this video and practice using a throw rope with the children in your school grounds. youtube.com/watch?v=wRYxrSzk… 1/2

If you have been participating with your students so far, don't forget to share the photos with us, and if you still have it in the schedule, do make use of the GA's extensive bank of fieldwork ideas.

Our GCSE Geographers had another brilliant week in Norfolk! From urban fieldwork in Norwich 🏙️ to exploring the coast at Cromer 🌊☀️, students gained vital field skills in a unique setting. This year marks 20 years of our annual trip! 🎉 To celebrate, students entered a "20" themed photo comp 📸 – entries are rolling in and they're fantastic! Over 2,000 Oaks Park students have experienced this trip over the years. We’re proud to give them the chance to study a contrasting locality and stay at UEA’s university campus 🏫 #OaksPark
