Today 8Y3 had to recreate some key events from Germany’s interwar years and guess what they were. These are some of my favs - they were amazing!

The first of many Y7 HW projects being delivered.. and a first for me - a light-up museum display! All wiring done by the student. The detail in the drawings on the second piece is also really impressive. So proud of my Y7s 🥰 @HumanitiesOan

Been working with Y7 on the concepts of impact and migration. Today, 7X2 used that to reach judgements on how impactful they think the Celts have been.

Said Y7s also asked me why it looked like my eyebrows had been drawn on with a highlighter so you know, win some lose some 🤦🏻‍♀️😂

Today has been a bad mental health day so I finally dragged myself out of bed and my evening and been spent grounding myself and adding to my gorgeous new blackout journal from @ArcherandOlive 🖤

[Emma Mason @MissMasonHist]

Beyond proud of my Y10 historians for the quality and thoughtfulness of the work they have been producing recently, and thank you @Luluwyld for helping to really push their higher level thinking!

Absolutely fantastic work from our Y10 historians this morning @OutwoodNewbold 😊 Students showed a brilliant range and depth of knowledge about Elizabeth I's problems when completing a Big Question activity! Well done! #GCSEhistory @OGATHumanities

Having all of my PPA on one day is equal parts blessing and curse because I have been walking away from Thursdays feeling incredibly productive, but the preceding Wednesday night has involved me napping on the couch for 4 hours after 3 days of non-stop teaching 🤦🏻‍♀️

Today I heard from a parent that their son was terribly upset when he got covid, because it would ruin his 100% attendance record. At the end of the year, those with 100% get book tokens & certificates in assembly. Here’s why policies like that should stop. 1/

If this turns out to be her final public picture, it’s an absolutely lovely one

For so many of our young students, this will be the first major historical event that they will carry with them for the rest of their lives. The end of the second Elizabethan Age. This is history at its most poignant.

[The Royal Family @RoyalFamily]

The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon.

The King and The Queen Consort will remain at Balmoral this evening and will return to London tomorrow.

"there was such a general sighing, groaning and weeping as the like hath not been seen or known in the memory of man, neither doth any history mention any people, time or state to make like lamentation for the death of their sovereign.” John Stow on death of Elizabeth I 1603

I found out that the girl I tutored through GCSE season went from achieving a grade 6 on her last mocks to one mark off a grade 9 on her GCSE. So proud of her my heart could burst 🥰

is that there is still such a significant way to go when it comes to helping teachers look after their mental health. With the recent news that numbers leaving the profession are up 12% and that 44% are looking to leave in 5 years, it’s vital that schools look to be more 3/5

Some fab Norman homeworks going up on display from 7Y2! @HumanitiesOan @OutwoodNewbold

[Emma Mason @MissMasonHist]

@MissHartley_ thank you! ♥️♥️

[Emma Mason @MissMasonHist]

A bit different from the regular ‘teacher’ post, but yesterday at a snowy Chatsworth, Connor asked me to marry him and I said yes 🥰

The ring is a diamond and sapphire one that my dad bought for my mum not long after I was born, so it’s hugely sentimental ♥️
