Fascinating deep dive, from Sarah Longair's keynote, into the material culture of the Seychelles including the coco-de-mer tree and the beautiful hand crafted objects that were produced by indigenous artisans #SHPDTC26

Do you have a new #ITT beginning #teacher starting in your department soon.
Moving schools midway through the year is hard. This is why your #mentee might find it particularly challenging.

#2 Gemma Ellis will be revisiting her workshop from the 2025 SHP Summer Conference to help you to immerse your students in historical interpretations. Feedback from the workshop said "Practical examples & quick wins I can implement easily" and "equipped me with a wide range of practical strategies".

Here are three more reasons why you should get your ticket before the box office closes on Wed Jan 28th.
#1 SHP Council member and Yorkshire Regional Adviser, @petejackson.bsky.social will focus on the ingredients for a great KS3 enquiry.
SHP's Developing Teachers Conference is not just pitched at teachers who are in their early years of teaching, the workshops are going to be fab for more experienced teachers and HoDs or Lead teachers who want to develop their teams. Tickets still available: store.leedstrinity.ac.uk/product-cata...

A hooded garment with long sleeves, made of strips of material stitched in horizontal rows with decorative embroidery around the hem and cuffs.
Dating from around 1865, this hooded parka from the Aleutian Islands in southern Alaska is made from seal intestines, a naturally waterproof & windproof material. Both robust & decorative, these seal gut parkas would have been used daily to keep warm & dry in this harsh environment.

They went out in September, the ones I saw at least. But there was very little in the way of highlighting them. I came across them through ESIS work, so they definitely didn’t seem to advertised particularly enthusiastically. I was curious about the reasons for that then.
