Thank you to everyone who has supported my map illustrations this year. As a small thanks I'd like to give one person a map print of their choice from the selection available on my website. Simply RT if you'd like to take part, and I'll pick a winner at random on New Years Day 🗺️

[Marc Morris @Longshanks1307]

My Anglo-Saxons book is now out in paperback.

Every day this week I'm giving away a free signed copy.

Retweet for a chance to win, and I'll pick a winner at random.

Good luck!

@peatock @MrThorntonTeach Not sure that you’d need SIMS for it, maybe you’d be able to enter student info/timetables directly to it? Not entirely sure. Think it’s a fairly new platform, we’ve been using it about 2 years now maybe

[Miss Nolan @JNolanHistory]

@MrThorntonTeach @peatock Not the best screenshots from phone but we upload the work from every lesson to synergy and then the green box is homework that is set too. Can do everything on it really!

[Miss Nolan @JNolanHistory]

@MrThorntonTeach @peatock We use school synergy. Links with SIMS so we do everything on it, registers, sanctions, achievements, sanctions, contact parents, homework. Kids and parents have own log ins. There’s no app at the moment but it’s great, everything in one place!

[Miss Nolan @JNolanHistory]

@peatock It looks like it’s the same as what would have happened with summer 2021 exams with paper 3 being compulsory and drop paper 1 or one of the paper 2 topics?

[Miss Nolan @JNolanHistory]

@MrThorntonTeach Good luck! 🙌

I am looking to read this article on TES about Cognitive Load Theory for research. I don't have a paying TES account and struggling to find it elsewhere, does anyone have a copy/know where I could read this please?

[Miss Nolan @JNolanHistory]

Such an interesting and useful CPD session tonight watching @ollie_lovell Cognitive Load Theory in Action webinar - lots to takeaway, particularly for reducing extraneous cognitive load

[Miss Nolan @JNolanHistory]

@miss_slater_ @Skiptoncastle It was lovely! Never been before, was pleasantly surprised with the castle, fab day 😊 hope you’re well! X

[Miss Nolan @JNolanHistory]

Glorious day at @Skiptoncastle today. Can’t believe how well preserved it was, lots of great bits for Civil War teaching too 🏰

[Miss Nolan @JNolanHistory]

@thefrozensea Thanks! Absolutely, massively helped with subject knowledge too, still fairly new for teaching A Level and they have been equally helpful for myself as well as students!

[Miss Nolan @JNolanHistory]

After a year of planning, A Level Anglo-Saxons and Norman Conquest booklets are completed. Had a successful trial run this year, improvements to be made but so happy with these and they have worked well - a lot of inspo from Twitter for them! #historyteacher

@JennyCroft76 @ianwhite21 @adamboxer1 I have trialled booklets for KS5 this year and it has been really successful. I shared some of my thoughts yesterday too ☺️

Files are also used along side this for additional work and lessons that are ‘off booklet’. Overall, will absolutely continue to use next year after some changes to make over the summer 👍

[Miss Nolan @JNolanHistory]

All lesson content and activities are in booklet. Booklets have allowed for better discussion and more comprehension rather than spending time on note taking. Used a lot of Cornell and summaries to support with notes. Essay planning included and completed in separate exam books.

[Miss Nolan @JNolanHistory]

So clear to see where students have missed lessons or lacking understanding with topics - equally clear to see where they have excelled. Have noticed some seem to write to fit the size of the box given for answers - something to improve next year, more writing space?

[Miss Nolan @JNolanHistory]

@peatock Need a good lunch to look forward to 😂
