I thought I’d revive the old Twitter account to thank all Summerhill Students for enduring this year - it’s been tough but we did it. I look forward to meeting an excited bunch of Y10 students in September as well as welcoming my new Y7 form. 🙌🏻👋

We're so excited to be working on this in the history team! More updates coming very soon... #historyteacher

[Mr Hall @History_Hall1]

@HistoryTeach0 Thanks Lindsay. I agree the William quote is often forgotten! Enjoyed your piece too: I’ve been striving to get my students writing like historians rather than with generic structures. Lovely reminder about concepts as well. A bedrock of History teaching.

In an act of shameless self-promotion, I’m delighted to share my first (and maybe last!) foray into the murky world of educational blogging. Comments always welcome! 😬

A wonderful summary of our first term’s studies on Hitler’s rise from (for my money) the finest historian on the matter, Professor Richard J Evans.

To all Y11 Historians, thank you so much for a wonderful 2 years (1 and a bit?) together. You were truly one of the finest cohorts we have ever had here at Summerhill. Enjoy your hard-earned grades, smash out the rest of summer and then go again in September. 🙏💪🤓 #proud

[Mr Hall @History_Hall1]

The man leads the free world! 🤦‍♂️This is why I do what I do... Roll on September.

The President says the “1917 pandemic” ended the Second World War

A reminder that the role of History is to open eyes to the truth - not construct a narrative to serve our own agendas or ideologies. At times our History leaves an unpleasant taste but it must be swallowed! https://t.co/KPjXaw3Uwd

Just wanted to introduce baby Mylo, the latest addition to Orion House and the Summerhill Family. Lockdown can bring good things too. Stay safe and take care everyone.👊🔴

In an unashamedly nerdy moment I thought I’d share some cool insights into the reign of Charles I. A fascinating monarch who was ‘locked down’ by his Parliament... remember all this Y8? 🤓🧐

[Mr Hall @History_Hall1]

I love a bit of revisionist History. This point on the opportunities provided politically by the Industrial Revolution is awesome. Hopefully backs up this week’s work Y8...🤓👀#readingforpleasure

[Mr Hall @History_Hall1]

Y9 imagine how good that essay would be if you went to this! Michael Scott is an AWESOME Historian - worth hunting on YouTube.

Doesn’t matter if you’re black or white! Lockdown reading has arrived and hands are washed thoroughly. 🤲🏻

Look out for exciting excerpts in the near future! 🤓#readingforpleasure

We are living in Historic times.

Just sitting down to mark work on whether Cromwell deserves his statue and Jacob in 8Y1 throws this bad boy at me! #smashed nice work 💪🔥🙌

Listen to the most recent episode of my podcast: How did the Weimar Republic survive for so long? https://t.co/ByYmV6wNL1

This one’s a keeper. Might help with the mock exam! 👀

[Mr Hall @History_Hall1]

Listen to the most recent episode of my podcast: Arson, Intimidation and Murder: how do the Nazis establish a Dictatorship? https://t.co/8Dzi6IeXic

It’s a banger and my hot tip for this year’s exam! 👀

[Mr Hall @History_Hall1]

Ooh Y10 and Y11 don’t forget all this- absolutely crucial to understanding Elizabeth’s reign! 👀
