Here is part of the ⁦@GranadaReports⁩ report from the ⁦@ParaHistories⁩ debates that our #BSGDY12 ⁦@BoltonSch⁩ pupils took part in ⁦⁦@LRGSLancaster⁩. It really was a fantastic experience to engage in contested and controversial histories.

Well done to Ayaat in #BGGDY7 - the winner of this term’s castle building competition. Also, very well done to our other entries.

[BSGD History @BSGDHistory]

Today #BSGDY12 History & @BSchPolitics pupils travelled to @LRGSLancaster to take part in @ParaHistories debates on US Civil Rights. Oracy, critical thinking & debating skills all in plentiful supply.

Working with #BSGDGeography today on our #BSGDY7 “One Square Mile” display in Hesketh House - great to show off how our learning habits are being developed

[BSGD History @BSGDHistory]

Last Friday #BSGDY7 made another trip to @Skiptoncastle as well as the local museum and neighbouring Holy Trinity Church.

They shall now be presenting their ‘plans of attack’ in class.

A reminder that this Friday 28 March is the deadline for entries to our castle competition.

#BGGDY9 will be remembering Albert this week and the other OBs who died in the Great War

[Bolton School @BoltonSch]

Today marks 110 years since the first OB was killed in action during WW1.

In 2014 #BoltonSch bought ceramic Tower of London Poppies for each of the OBs who gave their lives. Over the next 4 years we will commemorate them by adding the poppies to a display in the Riley Centre.
