Tha would be fab! Good to have a catch up anyway

Really important- we need something to hang it all on! @msquinnhistory.bsky.social @danlyndon.bsky.social @1972shp.bsky.social #SHPDTC26

Really looking forward to this! I would love to work in a middle school and am very jealous as a result.

Interesting ideas @1972shp.bsky.social @rjharris.bsky.social @danlyndon.bsky.social #SHPDTC26

Emotional understanding/empathy- interesting @rjharris.bsky.social
Current! For me at least!
#SHPDTC26 @1972shp.bsky.social

She says thanks! She’d heard that @1972shp.bsky.social is welcoming!

Of course this should say Really!

eally relevant session about children’s emotional engagement with the past @1972shp.bsky.social @danlyndon.bsky.social I’ve been thinking a lot about empathy currently so this is helping! #SHPDTC26

Connie loved Stuart Tiffany’s session about developing historical thinking- brilliant and useful as usual #SHPDTC26 @danlyndon.bsky.social @1972shp.bsky.social

I’ve cowritten chapter 10 and am very excited as I’ve never been in a book before!

Come and work with us! It’s a fab university which is absolutely committed to its civic duties. Also- we are a fab team!

Quote by Michael Morpurgo, illustrated by Chris Riddell: "Let there be half an hour of STORYTIME at the end of school in primary schools up and down the country. Make this the half hour they all long for, that they don't want to be over. Let the children go home dreaming of the story, reliving it, wondering." Illustration shows dreamy bookish child holding a book, bear with scarf, flying ship and dragon...

I totally support the National Year Of Reading initiative. We desperately need a culture of reading for pleasure to replace the culture of constant testing in schools, backed by proper government funding. And we need STORYTIME to be part of the school day, every day! #literacy

Happened in some schools in England for a little while at one point- it’s bonkers

Kicking-off day 2 of @1972shp.bsky.social Conference 2025 with @colinmccormick.bsky.social & @cpalmerhistory.bsky.social’s powerful presentation of local, national and international approaches to learning about Liverpool’s history of slave-trading and enslavement. #SHP25

Can’t recommend the MA enough!

This is a great book suitable for UKS2 and KS3. Had the pleasure of hearing @colinmccormick.bsky.social speak about it last week. Such a valuable resource

Wishing everyone at #SHP25 a wonderful time full of learning and friendship. @danlyndon.bsky.social @apf102.bsky.social

Yes please!

Valuable ramblings! I think it’s particularly difficult in the current climate

I would absolutely like to speak to you both but sadly won’t be at SHP

Thanks Alex- good points.

When you teach- or observe teaching- how do you spot the difference between motivated and engaged pupils and compliance?

Lucky y7s!

It's the final countdown, the last chance saloon, the end of the line! Tomorrow night we close the #SHP25 box office so don't miss out on our magnificent conference on July 11-13 @leedstrinity.bsky.social: 40 wonderful workshops, 3 kicking Keynotes, fab fringe sessions & enthusiastic exhibitors ...
