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.

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.

The report featured in the Guardian today on the inclusion of women in hustory lessons is really important - lets make women’s voices heard and their actions remembered. www.history.org.uk/secondary/ca...

It's that time of year when we evaluate our curriculum. I would really appreciate it if anyone could have a look over ours. What are we missing? What needs changing? Does it flow properly? Does it prepare students from KS4 & 5?

Any Feedback much appreciated. #historyteacher

No shade on James, who is just playing the game along with the rest of us, but the fact students need to know all *this* as well as the *history* remains bonkers.

They have to spend time doing this sort of nonsense in so many subjects - surely we can examine better?

So glad to see lots of students outside the exam hall for Paper 1 with their ‘If faced with’ question stem sheets. Juggling the content is difficult enough so having this quick reference point is a big help. #historyteacher

In 1665 a recipe for a tea caudle created by Sir Kenelm Digby was published. All you need is to mix together two yolks, sugar, and brewed tea. Suggested for days when ‘you have not the conveniency to eat presently a competent meal’.

Stuart Huel?

Would that I was brave enough to try it.

It has been wonderful to spend a few days amongst so many people who genuinely value and appreciate my contribution/role in the history teaching community. Thank you for always making me feel like I belong, even though I'd be a rubbish teacher! You're friends first, authors second. #haconf25

Evidence-based, ‘balanced’ history like this is conducive to national cohesion in modern Britain. Far right denialism & justification of colonialism is not.
