Name that castle...

Tough parenting moment. On the one hand my 3 year old has opened up a hole in the sofa to extract the white fluff. On the other he has used it as smoke for his train....to tell off or to applaud that is the question! Probably both 🤣

Come on Wigan!

Exciting day today! Early morning meeting with the @histassoc.bsky.social and legends like @lambhearttea.bsky.social before the Super League Grand Final later today!

Desperately sad and struggling to comprehend a world without the distinctive voice that was Helen Snelson. But she lives on in the classrooms of countless history teachers – in York, around Britain, across Europe – profoundly touched by her exceptional care, courageous insight and boundless vision.

A great read!

Just posted new blog on Bluesky and not (yet) on Twitter. Be interesting to see engagement. Will I fold and put it on Twitter too? Please help me avoid the temptation by reposting here! primarytimery.com/2024/08/25/o...

New blog post. Part 2 of a series on what our assessment tells students about history. We meet the ghosts of assessment present and future (probably a bit out of date now but you can blame Dickens for having one of each ghost). #UKEd #UKTeaching #EduSky occamshairdryer.wordpress.com/2024/08/24/a...

Solidarity with all those teachers and middle leaders for tomorrow. The anxiety is real. Hope you manage to get some sleep. My years of advice only point to one crumb to help you get some sleep...it is never as good or as bad as you think!
