Finally finished the battlefields student booklet with a day to spare! Underpinned by our values of teaching; synthesising local history, individual stories and voices, diversity of experience, source analysis in the crafting of history, geographical impact and material culture.

Today we had the incredible opportunity of hosting Lord Strathcarron with @UKParlEducation #learnwiththelords. He was insightful, engaging, and I spent the next 3 hours hearing students tell their peers and teachers about it! The students even stayed behind to ask moreโ€ฆ

Some thoughts about talking to children in schools about the situation in Ukraine: Today I've had conversations with parents of children spanning ages of 5-15yrs. In all cases they were concerned about how their child's school had begun talking to the children about Ukraine. 1/n

This also shows how important the historian is in our classroom- she was able to name a range of historians across our study, what they did, and where we had encountered them before.

Just had an amazing conversation about how @sixteenthCgirl documentaries has inspired a brilliant year 9 to become a historian, and she spent her break sharing all the reasons why she wants to go into history. Any historians want to share what a career in history is like?
