Thrilled to have this delivered at school! As a non specialist this is perfect for making sure I can have curriculum conversations with our Geographer. We’ve agreed on a chapter to read & discuss together in our next department meeting. Bravo @geogmum.bsky.social @jennnnnn.bsky.social 👏🗺️

Really enjoyed our Hums department meeting today. A focus on using choral response in a subject specific way. We read blogs by @claireharley.bsky.social @priteshraichura.bsky.social & @steplab.bsky.social module. All followed up by a discussion of how we are implementing it & how we can improve!

Really enjoyed presenting today in Manchester for the @ttradioofficial.bsky.social event. Great to hear so many teachers across the Humanities presenting and lovely to meet new people! Lots of new ideas to bring back to the team

Really enjoyed having some time to get planning for our two trips focussed around the theme of ‘home’. 1st: all our Y7s will explore the local area, including Reading Museum! The 2nd trip is with Dr. Efi Spentzou @ClassicsRHUL as part of the Myth & Voice project. Exciting times for our students 👏

Highlight of the term today when Dr Tim Penn & his colleagues visited us to discuss all things #AncientHistory A brilliant hands on workshop for our students to grapple with sources & archaeology to learn more about Roman board games. Our students were absolutely hooked! #historyteacher

I love being a tutor but this is my 1st time trying a form book. We read to our form twice a week at River Academy.Today my Y7s were howling with laughter as we continued our way through this fantastic book. It’s amazing how these books can bring such joy to our students! #ReadingForPleasure 📚

Lovely examples of the effort our Y7s put into their homework. These timelines are from our study of improvements to health, hygiene & sanitation throughout History. I’ve never taught a thematic study in Y7, but found it useful to reinforce chronology. Does anyone use them? #historyteacher
