Today me and my 16yo are watching the entire Lord of The Rings Trilogy - if only the eagles had given them a lift to Mount Doom this could have been a short watch!

Throwback to 1999 now that curtains are back in fashion! Happy Valentine’s Day 💕

Huge congratulations to @joecox23.bsky.social for being the most wonderful PGCE student - if you’re a #historyteacher give him a follow because he’s going to do great things in the history community. Watch this space. Thanks also to @jacquiramsden.bsky.social for being an incredible mentor to him

‘You crushed your pace’ - love this #running

Brilliant day at #Soane26 - always inspiring to hear from amazing teachers who care so deeply about what they do. Loved hearing Professor Sir Richard J Evans speak - amazing Thanks @michaeldoron.bsky.social for creating one of the highest quality history conferences around! #historyteacher

Kicking off #ArkSoane26 in the only way I know

London bound! #ArkSoane26

This will be great….

Really enjoy this approach to teaching Germany Q6 and Q7 for OCR B by studying a range of sources, getting students to think and then using them as hinge questions to check whole class understanding of which is the best answer and also identifying potential misconceptions. #historyteacher

NEW POST Reflections on making the most of the mock exam petejackson32.substack.com/p/reflection... #historyteacher

Every year, students say they can't read my writing on feedback. This year I've used a mail merge to import the data direct from excel - it means they are clear on the feedback and I retain the feedback for my own reference. Game changer #historyteacher Well done Chris P. Bacon! #notarealstudent

Delighted to have booked this walking tour for the Easter holidays @manchesterhistory.uk #historyteacher

Really looking forward to next week's #ArkSoane26 history teacher conference organised by @michaeldoron.bsky.social Just been putting the finishing touches to my presentation on using the story of Angel Meadow in Manchester to teach the Industrial Revolution. @manchesterhistory.uk #historyteacher

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

🚨 Two dates remaining. Drop me a line to book. Please 🙏 repost I know lots of schools have left it to the end and are a bit stuck! carmelbones.co.uk

Brilliant run around Manchester this morning to explore the historic environment of Angel Meadow! @manchesterhistory.uk open.substack.com/pub/petejack...

Spectacular work from Mrs J making this from scratch with the kids! ❤️

Watched episode 1 this morning - absolutely superb. Great sound and fascinating history of one of the best bands there’s ever been.

The complete Bayeux Tapestry has finally been released and proves that Bishop Odo had absolutely nothing to do with the illegal Norman invasion of England.
