Been refreshing our Cold War topic recently, starting with the Korean War lesson. Once again the @NAM_London have been instrumental in providing the information to bring the 'forgotten war' to life #historyteacher

A fantastic opportunity to spend the day with @HolocaustUK and their Testimony 360 programme. It was a privilege for our students to hear Manfred Goldberg tell his story. Proof that despite him not being here in person now, his life will inspire others for years to come.

Trying to build on independent research skills with KS3 at the moment. Year 8 produced some superb research pages on the Pendle Witches with thanks to @HistoryHit

First half term as LHA's Cultural Capital lead! Focus for this year is on the development of a Year 7 transition programme as part of our Ready to Thrive sessions for form time. Our pathway aims to equip our 7s with skills for learning and life, with aspirations at the centre.

Its been a whirlwind few weeks recently, but still always time to try new things. Redeveloped a rather dry agricultural revolution lesson thanks to ideas from the twittersphere. So much more engaging and fun with students brining their creativity. #historyteacher

A new notebook for a new role!!! Super excited to be starting next year as the Lead Teacher for Cultural Capital at LHA 💪

One minute you're a fresh faced ECT, the next you're being asked to mentor ITTs next year. Where has the time gone?!

A week on from our VE Day celebrations with KS3. Lots of stories shared about ordinary people doing extraordinary things, with help from @BBC_ARoadshow and their VE Day special. Each object opened an amazing story that had our students hooked #historyteacher

A slow crawl to the end of term made slightly easier after year 11 spotting a duck in this Nazi-Soviet Pact source. I mean I did ask them what they could see tbf 🤣 #historyteacher

Refreshed Year 9's Battle of Britain lesson with help from the IWM and RAF museum and their brilliant online resources! Students slowly starting to get to grips with the chronology of WW2 now 🎉 #historyteacher

And just like that, my ECT years are done. I'm a fully fledged teacher now! Huge thank you to all who have given support through the last 3 years. Onto the next chapter #historyteacher

Me and my Mum are going to be running at Sefton Park's Race for Life on 21st July. Cancer Research UK has worked magic for our family and many others. If you're able to spare a little change, we would be very grateful 🩷 fundraise.cancerresearchuk.o…

Blown away by Year 8's trench cartoons today. Inspired by the WW1 cartoonist Bruce Bairnsfather and his character Old Bill #historyteacher

Celebrating #InternationalWomensDay    with our HERstory book corner. Been quite popular with students this week #historyteacher

A lovely opportunity to come back to the 62nd Scouts this evening to invest their newest members. Particularly loved their #YouShape notice board too! @SeftonNorth

Always love a bit of Story, Source, Scholarship. Proved very useful when taking Year 8 through the Hillsborough disaster today. #historyteacher

Proud to be able to finally announce this! Looking forward to working with the team @MerseysideScout

A very poignant moment being asked to lay a wreath on behalf of @MerseysideScout this morning alongside @ccunnane1977 In loving memory of all Scouts who have given their lives, especially those whom we knew and loved. #WeWillRememberThem
