I started this blog back in January when we also set up the Natural History Facebook group. This now has over 750 members.
We also started a Twitter account, which is fairly quiet at the moment as there's not much to share.
At the time, we were hoping that 2023 would see the release of further consultation or detail on the draft specification for a brand new GCSE in Natural History.
That hasn't happened as yet, but the reading and preparation for what will be the likely themes (based on the initial consultation) has started, along with the collation of books, podcasts, websites, twitter feeds, quotes, people of note and a whole host of other things. Now, as we reach the Autumnal equinox, it's time to add the 100th post (already).
And the Natural World is crying out for help.
Feel free to browse or use the search to find out more. Join the Facebook group and keep an eye out for any announcement of anything new. We will tell you as soon as anything emerges, and are happy to be helping in the preparation of what we hope will be really useful teacher support materials at a time when everyone will be finding their way, and also hoping to persuade their SLT to offer the new specification in schools and other institutions.
If you have any comments feel free to add them as comments on the blog and they will come through to us, or DM me on Twitter @GeoBlogs, or comment over on the Facebook page.
