June 1st: The National Festival of Fieldwork
And here it is again: the GA’s National Festival of Fieldwork. It’s a month where lots of us will be out and about doing fieldwork anyway (gained time, what’s that?) but the GA’s campaign to promote high-quality fieldwork in all geography curriculums certainly helps to ensure we’re continually reflecting on, and refining, our fieldwork offerings.

I’ve shared most of the fieldwork I’ve done here in my quest to help teachers who, like I was early on in my career, might be very daunted by the prospect of fieldwork. I alway advocate for an on-site fieldwork investigation at KS3, Stratford and the River Chess for GCSE fieldwork are my current most-visited and I LOVED our recent A-Level fieldwork to Battersea Power Station- all blogged about somewhere on this site!
