@lamb_heart_tea @HughJRichards @histassoc Even those who want to bring back coursework…? 😜

[Becci @becbouche]

@histassoc thank you so much for yet another amazing conference. I have laughed, I have cried, I have learnt and I have once again been part of the winning team for the quiz! (@PeteJackson32 we’re on for the hat-trick in 2026!)

History teachers are truly amazing.

[Becci @becbouche]

@YorkClio Don’t worry, I made sure I made her one as soon as we got downstairs and shoved it under her nose!🤣 We were woken with Mumford & Sons being played by one of the other teachers, which lifted an eyebrow.

10 years ago, I shared a room on a Battlefields Trip with a stranger. After 4 days, the stranger had become a true friend. Her warmth, her slow nods, her hugs, her honesty & unwavering support. Her absolute passion for History & teaching it. Helen, we will miss you, so very much.

[Ruth Lingard @YorkClio]

For those who knew and loved my inspirational friend and colleague, Helen Snelson, it is my sad job to tell you that she died yesterday afternoon. I know how much she meant to so many of you and she was so grateful for your support and love these last few months.

[Becci @becbouche]

@YorkClio @HughJRichards Sending you a big hug Ruth. She’s going to leave quite a chasm, not just a hole. x

[Becci @becbouche]

@HughJRichards Genuinely one of the best people I have ever met. Let’s keep fighting the good fight on her behalf.

She will forever be watching over us with that wonderful sparkle in her eyes.

[Becci @becbouche]

@SnelsonH @histassoc So good to see you! Absolutely amazing conference and am, once again, buzzing with ideas. Can’t wait until next year in Liverpool.

[Becci @becbouche]

@HughJRichards Honestly can’t wait!!

@PeteJackson32 @richkbristol @CatPriggs @SnelsonH @UoNSoEHistory @michaeldoron @salburnham @AmeryKatie36732 Ha ha ha, yep, hobby horses and trees still going strong! And the duck survives every year. I’m afraid there are usually multiple casualties in the form of jelly babies by the end of open evening. Year 7s can be brutal! 🤣

[Becci @becbouche]

@Mrs_T27 Did you get any? Only ones left by the time I got in were £661 each. 😢

I’m designing 2 lessons on the impact Christianity had on AS Britain to fit into wider AS unit.
What key points would you want Yr7 to know? I teach in Whitby so want to bring in Abbey & St Hilda - where do I start?

[Becci @becbouche]

@SnelsonH @Justice2History The episode of Who Do You Think You Are is emphasising the importance of decolonising history. It’s also showing how important it is to confront family history and be prepared to be uncomfortable. Think it’s a clip I’m going to show in to my classes.

[Becci @becbouche]

@HughJRichards The idea of a service wash at the local laundrette is sooooo tempting! 🤣

Hope your little one is feeling much better today too.

[Becci @becbouche]

@HughJRichards Bloody hell. Is it coming down after mainlining Calpol? Buy shares in an ice lolly firm, then buy a lot of ice lollies. Am sending lots of cooling thoughts your way!

It shocked me when I looked at how long ago it was 😳

[Becci @becbouche]

@HughJRichards it was really good to remake your acquaintance today. I hope you managed to get back and the baby feels better soon. Not nice being poorly, especially in this heat.

[Becci @becbouche]

@histassoc
@Justice2History
Thank you so much for an inspiring session @YorkUniversity today. It was engaging, informative & has given me a lot to put into our Curriculum to decolonise & diversify it.
Ive just ordered A LOT of bedtime reading - now need a bigger bedside table!

[Becci @becbouche]

@emmasuttPhysio I love your tweets Em!

I have no clue what they actually mean, but I get a warm feeling in my heart that a good friend is doing something she loves, is amazing at, and is just an all round good egg! 😘
