#StChrisY12 getting a bit 'old school' - using a blackboard to explore Communist China's First Five Year Plan. Focus on breaking down 'success' into thr key aims of autarky, development of heavy industry and socialist development - great job Y12. #StChris6th @StChrisHistory

Allowing students to use windows like whiteboards. Simple way to get them up and about the classroom that fosters collaboration.

[Conal Smith @prohistoricman]

Dropping in to see Y12 historians hard at work with @historychappy studying the USSR. Always something to glean from observing excellent practitioners #StChrisHistory #StChris6th

Bravo, Ryan! Loved my time as an EPQ supervisor. Such a valuable and useful qualification.
