Good morning from Belgium! 🇧🇪

After a long day of travelling yesterday, we're ready for a busy day ahead.

Today's itinerary includes visiting several war cemeteries, exploring the powerful In Flanders Fields Museum in Ypres, indulging in a spot of Belgian chocolate shopping 🍫, and ending the day at the moving Last Post Ceremony at the Menin Gate.

It's going to be a day of remembrance, reflection, and a chance to experience some of Belgium's rich history and culture.! 🇧🇪🌺

On Tuesday 70 Year 10 GCSE Geography students enjoyed a fieldwork visit into Exeter town and Dawlish Warren, collecting primary data to support their GCSE fieldwork, and their Paper 3 exam.

In Exeter city centre, students explored the impact of the Princesshay regeneration project by carrying out environmental quality surveys, pedestrian counts and traffic surveys. They discovered how the redevelopment has transformed the area, creating attractive public spaces, pedestrian-friendly streets and beautiful green spaces filled with colourful flowers and hanging baskets. 🌸

The group then travelled to Dawlish Warren, where they investigated the process of longshore drift. Using biodegradable oranges to track sediment movement and measuring sand levels around groynes, students gathered clear evidence showing that longshore drift is moving sediment from west to east along the coastline. 🍊🌊

It was a fantastic day of hands on learning, giving students the opportunity to apply their classroom knowledge in the real world 👏☀️
