Tested out making some Cheese Scones using the recipe I stole from @travkitchen during the @Locallearning2 Hill fields event.

Turned out pretty well for our first attempt 🥰🥰🥰

[Daniel Smith @MrSmithHist]

Crazy to think since starting work on this project 2 years ago I have since passed my PGCE and first year of teaching 😄

Brilliant morning sharing history of #Hillfields #HomesForHeroes with 2 of 3 years of @uwehistory placement students who worked on this wonderful @Locallearning2 community heritage project @MrSmithHist @Locallearning #AddisonAct1919

S4 Chemist’s using @SPBeale Tetris Tussle for some #retrievalpractice before their assessments begin. Could not have predicted how competitive they would be! @Chem_KinrossHS

As a huge Tolkein fan there is a line that is really resonating with me at the moment.

"I feel thin, sort of stretched, like butter scraped over too much bread."

In 12 years of teaching i've never felt this stretched. We will get through it if we help each other when in need.

So looking forward to reading this beauty written by @richardosman when I have some more free time 🥰

My Y11 is full of super bright girls whose confidence with terminology/concepts has taken a knock. Seeing this dip has plagued my mind! To help, I've made a Terminology Tick List that's highlighted only when they're secure with the term/concept and able to recall. #historyteacher

[Daniel Smith @MrSmithHist]

@Mr_Mackley As an NQT I can honestly say that I am feeling the exact same!

[Daniel Smith @MrSmithHist]

@MrHodgeTeaches @EvansHistory It is hard to explain, picture cluedo but you deduce the suspect place and weapon through a series of unique picture cards given to you!!

[Daniel Smith @MrSmithHist]

@EvansHistory Its quite good if you get a decent size group... but thats becoming harder and harder to achieve 😅

[Daniel Smith @MrSmithHist]

@EvansHistory Videogame: fall guys and replaying Nathan Drake series although looking forward to the new assasins creed game (hopefully they do that time period some justice)

Boardgame: Mysterium and Secret Hitler have been my most recent games!

[Daniel Smith @MrSmithHist]

@MrTs_NQTs Hey everyone I will be starting my NQT in September in the Dorset area! I am a history specialist but may teach some sociology later in the year. I will be joining the school with a year 7 form tutor which im very excited about 👨‍🏫

@Trundling17 The one death that always stuck with me was dustfinger from the inkheart series 😭😭😭

[Daniel Smith @MrSmithHist]

@historybookgrp For me it had to be education. Learning how so many of the authors were barely taught yet had the self discipline and determination to learn how to write illustrated the necessary attributes during this period to suceed. #HTBC

[Daniel Smith @MrSmithHist]

@historybookgrp The deskilling and break down of apprenticeship traditions is a great example how industrialisation allowed for the poorer families a chance to gain better income and a small chance of social mobility

[Daniel Smith @MrSmithHist]

@historybookgrp These biographies could be used to show how different life was between urban and rural areas but also used to show how some people benefitted from the cultural and social changes taking place!
