Great to see so many Ormiston Chadwick Yr11 students giving up their time today at the 'I ❤️ History' Valentine's Day session. Who doesn't love writing Elizabeth I mind maps on a desk? History National Network (Ormiston Academies)

This evening I've been writing and uploading narrated PowerPoint presentations (blast from the lock-down past there), focusing on how to approach and answer Pearson Edexcel GCSE History, ready for the forthcoming mock exams Ormiston Chadwick History National Network (Ormiston Academies)

Brilliant CPD here!

Inspired by Fiona Sheriff 👨‍👩‍👧‍👧🌍 and Helen Pipe🌍 Geography equivalents, I’ve put my own twist on things for GCSE Edexcel History question stems. ‘If faced with… respond with… where found?’, gives students a one point of reference prompt with direct advice on Q approach. #historyteacher

En-route to Wolverhampton for my first History National Network (Ormiston Academies) Face to Face for a couple of years. Should be a very useful day, although the regionalisation of these events means it's a shame I can't catch up with Sian today.

Truly abysmal service from the Charlotte Tilbury counter John Lewis & Partners in Liverpool One. Disinterested to say the least, and no mention of "thank you." No wonder retail is dying a slow death.

50 'X' points for working out which wonder of the Industrial Revolution we're on today!

Really enjoyed this vintage WWII submarine warfare game, attempting to sink allied convoys during the Battle of the Atlantic. Great fun, although extremely hard to locate and destroy those cargo ships... BoardGameGeek

Really enjoyed updating and planning this mini enquiry for Y7 focusing on the development of the Islamic Empires in Asia and N Africa, the House of Wisdom, medicine, and the influence of this on medieval Europe. Ormiston Chadwick History National Network (Ormiston Academies)

Another history day out for the children over Easter, Science and Industry Museum although sadly they seemed more interested in the science of gaming, rather than more industrial heritage!

Always great to have a look at a motte on a day out. Yet another picture to include in a lesson to entertain my students... #mrwalbyontour

Massive congratulations to Marine Football Club today, and their promotion to National League North. Looking forward to a proper derby match with Southport Football Club next season. Bring it on!!

Got the call today, although I'm not getting my Dept Deep Dived still going to prep up for any potential meetings. See you on the other side!

Hello there, does anyone have a lesson on 9/11 they'd be willing to share? Looking to help with work / life balance for staff in my Dept! Teachers Talk History Karen Knight Katie Amery

Is anybody else thinking that twitter/ X is just about unusable now?

Watching Pointless Celebrities this evening and noted that in the round Top Tier Football Clubs past and present Richard Osman noted that Bradford Park Avenue are "no longer with us" I'm sure the good folks Bradford PA AFC might disagree.

Just picked up a ticket to this event, really looking forward to a great day of CPD! History National Network (Ormiston Academies)

Fantastic to see this Common Lizard enjoying the sunshine at RSPB Burton Mere Wetlands this morning.

Building Bridges for Peace at Clonard Monastery in Belfast  on October 22nd. A unique opportunity to hear Jo Berry and Patrick Magee speak together to share their extraordinary dialogue that speaks to the courage, complexity, and transformative power of reconciliation. #empathy

Testament to the tremendous power of #Threads that a 40 year old drama on BBCFOUR is trending at number 3 on Twitter.
