I was sad to miss ResearchED Cornwall today, but I was on parenting duties taking my daughter to a hockey match in Sidmouth. We went for fish & chips and had a mooch around the shops afterwards. Windy day!

Sorry to hear that. We’ve got our trip on Friday next week. Didn’t have a great experience last year, but it was my first year at the school and I didn’t know my colleagues or any of the Year 11s. Hoping for a great day this time!

That reminds me! I forgot that last year we had a table per year group around the outside of the room so families could see how the content/depth changes through the year. Bit like a timeline.

You’re right. My last but one school did the tours that way and these were the two things we did before families moved on. Current school is free rein to go around as they like. We also have our Year 11 subject captains helping, so they take care of the maps while teachers can chat.

Factfulness quiz is a great shout! We use it, and extracts from the book, in our Year 7 curriculum.

We have our Open Evening on Thursday next week. We: Have a world map and various food. Visitors place them on the country they think they came from. Big OS map of our area. Visitors add a sticky dot to show where they live. Examples of pupil work and books. What other ideas are there? #geogchat

Felt better than the summer! Hoping to get out mid-week too, but we’ll see.
