Teaching Y8 about the reactions & long-term effects of the Industrial Revolution soon
To contextualise this, we’ll be starting the lesson with a discussion about the allegedly inevitable ‘AI revolution’; are they for or against it? what impacts will it have? Good and/or bad?

This is a massive discovery; Oxford in the Roman Period wasn’t really a thing, so this is a really early sign of local if not regional importance

A book, The Iberian Peninsula between 300 and 850, resting on a hob. Pesto pasta simmers in a pot next to it.
I haven’t had as much time to read lately, as I’ve stepped into a full-time teaching post

It’s not even a money-saving thing, either: if you’ve got the funds to fly to Japan, you can afford more than a McSquid Burger (and most of the time, McDonalds costs more than better food anyway)
