I love this bandage from c.1900 featuring illustrations on how to wrap wounds resulting from accidents involving a soldier, a sailor, a miner, and a woman whose clothes have caught fire. This amazing object is part of the Wellcome Collection in London.

I know I say this every year, but with results day on the horizon, please remember that for some kids grade 1-3 is a huge achievement. It represents years of hard work and determination. It’s not a fail. It is a GCSE qualification that they can and should be celebrated for.

Pottering around the Remainders Room in Waterstones as E finds a corner to start her new book, followed by coffee and cake… just about the loveliest way to wile away a Sunday afternoon

When there’s a mountain to climb and a sun to set, there are worse ways to do it

The most wonderful day getting lost in the woods. Treasures found, trees climbed, dens made. Dreamy.

The holidays have arrived and the annual summer chalkboard is ready to go. Big focus on Brownie badges this year!

The last week of term has ended and amongst it all the amazing @endsexisminschools.bsky.social History team have put in 9 hours of Teams meetings and goodness knows how many hours writing between us. Feeling incredibly of what we’ve achieved in the last 3 years and excited to see it come together!

Amazing papers from historians, and great to see how material culture is being used in more schools, particularly from our HA series. Exploring their archive of objects was so special

Is it even the holidays if you’re not tasked with running a ‘Project Day’ by your daughter and nieces? Two days learning about World War Two, a visit to International Bomber Command and a raid of Hobbycraft later… they did great!
