Privileged to attend a lovely memorial at Barnsley Town Hall tonight and listen to our students speak about why education and memorial is so important

A phenomenal leader getting her flowers - Shona has been the best mentor, curriculum lead and friend since starting at TASE in my first teaching role. I am so fortunate to have the privilege of working with such a team

Had the bottle to listen back to my own voice, it was a pleasure to record this.

On Tuesday Tim, a second generation Holocaust survivor is delivering a talk to a group of Y9 students. A topic we have focused on meticulously, as a department given a rise in antisemitic violence. This ties in to the work we will do for Holocaust Memorial Day @TrinityAcadStE

We’ve been working on annotation with y10 this week. They searched for information about Medieval beliefs of causes, treatments and preventions of the Black Death within a story, linking to prior knowledge on Medieval health 🩺@TrinityAcadStE

7 Thompson were fantastic at working out the definition of ‘autobiography’ by breaking down the word into parts!

[Maia @MissMercerHist]

This week’s involve was investigating how ‘bloody’ Bloody Mary actually was. Students plotted information given on a scale and practiced their ‘writing like a historian’ skills that we’ve been developing within lessons 🌟

[Humanities @ TASE @Tase1Humanities]

‘They develop knowledge and skills that belie their age. For example, Year 8 pupils can provide detailed verbal commentary on the causes of the Russian Revolution.’ So proud of our unashamedly ambitious History curriculum and our incredible students 👏🏻👏🏻

I love this so much. Also so aware of how much Barnsley needed this, serving the community you’re from and care so passionately about makes this even sweeter. Well deserved from all involved

Another half term history visit, this time to Lindisfarne. I may now be slightly sunburnt

[Maia @MissMercerHist]

I said last and I take it back because it needs to be said, but I am so fortunate to teach such amazing students. The emails and tweets received have made me so emotional and the fact that parents had gotten us thank you presents is beyond belief. What a school, what a cohort

[Maia @MissMercerHist]

A final post about how amazing Paris 2024 was. Feeling incredibly lucky to work with such amazing colleagues and students as they truly made the trip. Thanks to Mr Betts for such fantastic photos - a man of many talents

The kindest students and community I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. We have loved taking these incredible young people to make the best memories. No thanks were needed but they were greatly appreciated! @TASEMFL a truly amazing experience 🎉

[MFL@TASE @TASEMFL]
