Been refreshing our Cold War topic recently, starting with the Korean War lesson. Once again the @NAM_London have been instrumental in providing the information to bring the 'forgotten war' to life #historyteacher

@mrfitzhist This is ace! My Year 11s are due to do this soon, will be a huge help for them

[Lucy James @MissJamesHist]

A fantastic opportunity to spend the day with @HolocaustUK and their Testimony 360 programme. It was a privilege for our students to hear Manfred Goldberg tell his story. Proof that despite him not being here in person now, his life will inspire others for years to come.

@andyhassan1985 We're re-focusing on developing the historical skills especially in KS3. Hopefully it'll make the transition to GCSE smoother 🤞

Refreshed Year 9's Battle of Britain lesson with help from the IWM and RAF museum and their brilliant online resources! Students slowly starting to get to grips with the chronology of WW2 now 🎉 #historyteacher

@andyhassan1985 Mainly leading on the School's approach to ensuring cultural capital is implemented both inside and outside the classroom.

A new notebook for a new role!!! Super excited to be starting next year as the Lead Teacher for Cultural Capital at LHA 💪

[Lucy James @MissJamesHist]

@andyhassan1985 I don't sell them usually, sometimes I'll put the Google drive link on if I remember 🤣

Trying to build on independent research skills with KS3 at the moment. Year 8 produced some superb research pages on the Pendle Witches with thanks to @HistoryHit

[Lucy James @MissJamesHist]

First half term as LHA's Cultural Capital lead! Focus for this year is on the development of a Year 7 transition programme as part of our Ready to Thrive sessions for form time. Our pathway aims to equip our 7s with skills for learning and life, with aspirations at the centre.

Its been a whirlwind few weeks recently, but still always time to try new things. Redeveloped a rather dry agricultural revolution lesson thanks to ideas from the twittersphere. So much more engaging and fun with students brining their creativity.

Anti-racism education should be embedded year-round and is needed more than ever with growing far-right narratives and violence on our streets. Educators must address increasing overt racism and Islamophobia, and the fear that many Black pupils and colleagues are experiencing. #BHM25

@MrThorntonTeach Yeah! New TLR keeping me busy 😁

[Lucy James @MissJamesHist]

One minute you're a fresh faced ECT, the next you're being asked to mentor ITTs next year. Where has the time gone?!

[Lucy James @MissJamesHist]

A week on from our VE Day celebrations with KS3. Lots of stories shared about ordinary people doing extraordinary things, with help from @BBC_ARoadshow and their VE Day special. Each object opened an amazing story that had our students hooked #historyteacher

The home straight is nearly in sight 🥳 #historyteacher

@mrfitzhist @SandsUK She's beautiful, congratulations both of you 🎊 x

A slow crawl to the end of term made slightly easier after year 11 spotting a duck in this Nazi-Soviet Pact source. I mean I did ask them what they could see tbf 🤣 #historyteacher
