My pupils are loving our Escape Connect Relate collection and I spy some titles there that we don't have 🤩 (And they'd appreciate my being able to up my book chat game instead of repeating that old chicken and frog in a library convo - 'Book?' 'Read it' 'Book?' 'Read it'...)

[Hachette Learning History @HL_History]

Kelpies are evil Scottish water spirits who appear as horses in order to carry victims (often children) into the depths 🌊🐴

Some believe that they’re depicted as Pictish Beasts on symbol stones, such as the 1,200-year-old one at @BrodieCastleNTS in Moray.

The best thing about these molds is that it looks like two tiny people have been squished by a heavy lump of metal dropping on them... #StAndrewsDay

Here’s a new twist in my #LongCovid tale. I’ve developed arthritic joints after having the virus in March! What a lovely addition. To those not wearing masks, social distancing etc., try out my sore joints and shortness of breath, then see if you still want to flout COVID rules.

In the Cairngorms, a possible Iron Age structure, pottery and a stone tool left behind over 1,500 years ago were found during road construction 🛣️

Does this affect your opinion of roadworks? A new review will examine the potential benefits to archaeology: https://t.co/L6pssKmT7J

I’m not sure how much this would work for interpretations but when I teach tone of sources at A Level I use this wheel of emotion, it gives them a really good vocab starting point (And it’s also so pretty!)
