About to start our afternoon session with more consideration of our curriculum planning and thinking about inclusivity. Using the excellent work of @Zaiba__ and @First_floor_8 to start the conversation

[History National Network (Ormiston Academies) @OAT_History]

The final history subject day taking place virtually today. Great to gather together to talk about the importance of reading in history and building an inclusive curriculum. @JennyNicholls8 @MattWalby @lukemayhew @janewicks86

EVIDENCE UPDATE: We realise that requesting your evidence outside of working hours yesterday wasn’t the right thing to do - so the deadline will be 48 hours from this morning. We’ll be sending an email shortly to confirm this.

[AQA @AQA]

You may have received an email from us giving a deadline of 10am Wednesday for submitting evidence. This wasn’t correct - you have 48 hours from when you received the email. Sorry for the confusion.

‘Building up knowledge of substantive concepts...challenging vocabulary...mental timelines...explicitly teaching concepts’ Just some of the things that make good primary history in Jenner’s History Ofsted summary

[History National Network (Ormiston Academies) @OAT_History]

Fantastic planning going on throughout the Trust. @MattWalby showing how to bring diversity into KS3 Tudor England enquires.

[MrWalby_History @MattWalby]

I've loved planning this lesson, as part of our Yr7 enquiry into tolerance in Tudor England, and the early development of the colonies, using the analysis of @DavidOlusoga Disappointed I won't get to teach it though! @SandymoorTL @OAT_History

[Jenny Nicholls @JennyNicholls8]

So many amazing entries so far, but last chance this week to get competition entries in for the #hiddenhumanities competition before it starts to be judged next week!
