Thought it really did the story, themes and whole shebang justice. Absolutely LOVED Circe.

Local History has been championed by the Schools History Project since the 1970s! When our pioneering predecessors, SCHP, wrote their seminal book, A New Look at History, in 1976 they talked about a new course for history students to study, which they called History Around Us ...

It's that time of year to try and remind year 13 of things we covered AGES ago. Love @richardosman1.bsky.social answer smash... With a #historyteacher Russia spin.

Being mocked by year 11 students cuts deep. I could have been an art teacher. Stereotype cowboy for American West... #historyteacher

I am absolutely thrilled that the @1972shp.bsky.social Developing Teachers' Conference has signed up 95 teachers of history for Saturday, nearly doubling last year's attendance. BUT I really want to hit three figures so am offering 5 free places to the first 5 people who DM me asking for them!

#OtD 7 Dec 1938 the last of the International Brigades' British Battalion arrived by boat back in Newhaven, UK, after surviving the Spanish Civil War. The 300 brigaders were welcomed by a huge crowd before marching to a special train to London stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/1307...

I'm glad it's not just me whose brain goes to these odd places. I almost started making garum (Roman fish sauce) last year. With hindsight, this would probably have ended in mass sickness and food poisoning.

Can't wait for this; will be absolute gold. #historyteacher

Absolutely engaging and super. @reteachuk.bsky.social episode with @willbaileywatson.bsky.social and @paulalobo.bsky.social hits the nail on the head when looking at the importance of enquiry and curriculum design. Loved it even on the last day of longest ever half term! 🤟👏

I stand by my view that this and Ulysses 31 are two of the greatest childrens cartoons. Perfection. Also THE THEME TUNES.

Introducing my goblin child to the wonder of the Great Yarmouth Hippodrome. Simply amazing.

Luke Mayhew @mrmayhew.bsky.social · 30/08/2025

Great Yarmouth is set to host the biggest neo-nazi music festival in over a decade. The Home Office has the power to block entry of overseas bands, which will scupper the promoters plans. But they won’t act unless we demand it. Email the Home Office now: hopenothate.org.uk/2025/08/28/g...

However, the voices from others seem to be far less prominent and more diluted.

Luke Mayhew @mrmayhew.bsky.social · 26/08/2025

The major issue is that the vocal minority are increasingly organised - people being bussed in from all over for speeches, numbers and all sorts. The media is having a HUGE impact - voices from reform seem to be showcased every time, to ensure balance.

Luke Mayhew @mrmayhew.bsky.social · 26/08/2025

Couldn't agree more. The shift in attitude, rhetoric and general rage over the past 5-10 years is terrifying.

Not like the old days though, when the machine used to crush your feet to the size of shoes in stock. Halcyon days.

Ahhhhhh return from holiday in the sw of France and the temperature difference is terrifying. I also miss the boulangerie. Sob.

Delighted to be hosting these two fabulous book events for Kemp’s bookstore in Malton, Yorkshire in September. Be a great evening of history chat and would be wonderful to see some Yorkshire history teachers there. Please spread the word! #historyteacher

Absolute belter of a book. If you havent read already, children of Ash and Elm by Neil Price is superb as well.

Luke Mayhew @mrmayhew.bsky.social · 06/08/2025

Just reading The Good Germans" by Catrine Clay, and absolutely hooked. Brilliant stories of normal people unfolding with the emergence of Hitler's Germany. #historyteacher people this is gold for those that teach the Third Reich.
