Year 9 Historians visited the Imperial War Museum in London today where they experienced the incredibly moving and powerful Holocaust Exhibition. @I_W_M

[Mr J McGarva @JHMcGarva]

Amazing visit to the @I_W_M with our year 9s today. They were a credit to @HarrisMertonCR4 throughout the trip, in the museum and in the learning sessions. On a separate note, the Holocaust exhibition and learning at the IWM is outstanding. Could not recommend it enough!

[Mr J McGarva @JHMcGarva]

This will be a fantastic webinar! @NicholasMorto11 was the lecturer who made me really fascinated with the Crusades whilst at University!

[BeBold History Network @BeBoldHistory]

Our next talk for #BeBoldHistory is with @NicholasMorto11! Presenting on In the near East in the Age of the First Crusade. Ticket details below: -

Another great conference today! Lots of new and exciting ideas to explore with KS5 coursework and in KS3/KS4. As ever, how will we fit all these new ideas in, the classic struggle! 😂

[Mr J McGarva @JHMcGarva]

Looking forward to another Harris conference today, especially with it being a subject specific day. Looking forward to having far too many new ideas to think about!

[Mr J McGarva @JHMcGarva]

And that's a wrap for my first term as HoD. It's been a really productive and enjoyable first term. Now looking forward to some rest and Christmassy fun with @sian_bethan

[BeBold History Network @BeBoldHistory]

Any other history teachers keen for this?

Exciting to see my #BlackTudors research informing this new @bbcbitesize resource about the lives of Africans in Tudor England. Should be a useful starting point for #historyteacher s #TeachingBlackTudors… https://t.co/bFo12G0QY7
