Celebrating Liberation Day today π―πͺ and met the amazing Dan Snow!! Felt a bit like a fan girl asking for a photo then not knowing what to say but lovely man - who even made a video for my classes π€
Had the absolute pleasure of meeting and listening to Eva and her motherβs story. So powerful and moving, could listen to her talk forever. She then even signed my book!!
Day 2 of Exploring the Holocaust yesterday. Looking at victims of the Holocaust, Terezin Ghetto and the development of the Final Solution. We finished off the evening with Dilemmas, choices and responses. Very hard hitting but influencing my teaching for sure!
Day 1 complete of our Exploring the Holocaust CPD. Already so many things to take back to my school and implement/ suggest! Finished the day off with how we approach the Holocaust through literature. A lot to think about for sure.

This was my second visit and probably most emotional. The girls have really taken away a lot from this learning experience, it was an insightful day for sure!
