To everyone in Britain's Jewish Community: you are not alone.

We will not let hate or those who spread it win.

We stand with you.

To everyone in Britain's Jewish Community: you are not alone. We will not let hate or those who spread it win. We stand with you.

On Yom Kippur many Jewish people in Britain have their phones off to mark the holy day.

As it ends at 723pm, some will hear the tragic Manchester news for the first time.

At that time, please join many of us to send a message of solidarity to British Jews.Thanks Together coalition for proposing.

1. A story. Please read.
Reposts hugely appreciated on this. You'll see why in a bit.
I was born in Pakistan and lived there until I was 4. My parents worked there as doctors. While we were there we were very close to a couple called Christine and Mike Miles.

If you've read Primary Reading Simplified and found it useful, it would mean a lot to me if you would consider taking 60 seconds to add a rating or review at the place where you bought it. It's a little thing that makes a huge difference. Reposts are also much appreciated.

I can’t help with Yorkshire history I’m afraid, but we did a local history focus on the IR. You might have already thought of this but we used the census and population stats of our town to map key changes e.g. the coming of the railway and its impact, local schools linked to the Education Act etc.

I think this is great! Really valuable to think about continuity as something complex and dynamic. It's not just about lack of change, but also over long term about change that reverts back, or is partial, or temporary. We combine this w/ concept of change, but give specific vocab to help students πŸ‘‡
