Someone posted in the Mr T does Primary History group about monitoring as a history lead. These are my suggestions (from the top of my head).
Any others you'd add?

A common question asked is about activities using replicas/artefacts BUT this can easily miss the importance of collating sources. They must be placed within that sense of narrative arc to ensure value and avoid the misconception that one source = THE answer.

Well I didn't know this! A great fact if you're teaching Crime and Punishment!

An idea I'm working with at the moment for the early lessons of a history unit:
Should children engage in the same manner and 'detail' with every aspect of a timeline to ensure the hinterland is not minimised to the point it's lost?

Always lovely to receive feedback from a session!
If you've done a chronology workshop with me... you know the context.
If you haven't, you should book one and find out... 🤓

Just a response from me about how we might make more of chronology lessons in primary :)
Anonymised the poster and other response for politeness reasons.

New website content incoming about how we plan primary history. This page focuses on chronology's role as part of this process; it includes exemplification videos to support.

There seems to be a lack of KS1 resources for the VE Day Commemorations in May so I've been working on this over the weekend. The aim is to publish for free tomorrow
The slides will have teacher notes but would you also like a video version to just press play on? 😊

Free access resource to help with commemorations of #veday80thanniversary #VEDay for KS2 from the Imperial War Museum teams that includes how to use accounts to study the event.
Worth looking into!

A surprise to no one I'm sure but working on the timelines for my forthcoming Amelia Earhart sequence for KS1.
I've broken it into two timelines to add a more precise emphasis to the important hinterland of her life and then the core knowledge which underpins the enquiry.

Currently compiling a list of all the free, high-quality resources for schools to access for #VEDay
Does anyone know the best way to add a file onto Blusky for people to download once I've finished it?

This year's mantra is a big ol' change from but what if... to but what if... (tonal shift even if the words remain unchanged).

One of the great joys I get from teaching in a school every week is the chance to share practice with other schools.
I had 4 teachers from a school in York observe me this afternoon whilst my lovely Y6's completed this lesson from my unit. 1/2

A quick heads up for enhanced website members...
I've been writing and recording CPD quick vids on historical enquiry for you to use with staff.
They're no longer than 8-10 minutes and are designed to get teachers up and running with principles we use when teaching history.
