Another mistake leading to a concession? Surely not, Norwich.

Some of our decision making has been questionable too. We need to be keeping the ball - not having shots from 25 yards like that.

Have let Pompey dominate us this half. Very little bite in midfield and no outlet - the goal has been coming.

That was the kind of foul you make when you're an inexperienced defender. Saw that coming a mile off.

What a goal from Hamer - just into the Birmingham half.

Super half from Norwich. Great energy and pressing. Diallo and Nunez impressive. More of the same in the second 45 please!

Birmingham have been excellent. Unreal energy - both on the pitch and in the stands- players chasing everything. No, they haven't been really creative but they've made it so tough for Ipswich to do anything with the ball.

And with that, six History exams and three Politics exams are done for another year. Overall the kids seemed happy so that's good. Now onto mocks...

Not engaged much with the online Eduworld in recent months but excited to be talking about my booklets journey on @ttrhistory.bsky.social soon: what's worked well and hasn't, and the various formats I've tried over the last few years. Sign up below.

Having loved the original as a 6 year old, I've been watching the new Walking with Dinosaurs with my boy. My honest views after 2 episodes? Whilst the new version does more to reveal the science behind palaeontology, it distracts too much from the 'dino narrative' that made the original so good.

Well, I thought that Medicine paper was alright today! Weird Source B IMO but otherwise a great paper and lots of happy Y11s.

#ncfc Frustratingly soft goal to concede again but pleased with the response from Norwich.

Oh fuck off Norwich. Unforgivable. That sloppiness in midfield and inability to retain possession is so costly.

I love Borja Sainz but for the love of God please play the ball rather than running into trouble and losing the ball in every attack.

Ross Perkins @mrrperkins.bsky.social · 01/03/2025
Much better start to the second half from #ncfc Quicker movement of the ball and a little more pressure is trapping Rovers in their half.

#ncfc Why have we persisted with hopeful long balls all game? If the run is on, great but it's clearly not worked.

Thank you to everyone who came to our second Ark Soane History conference yesterday. It was such a joy to see so many history teacher colleagues together. As always, I’m proudest of our pupils who were so keen to help and talk about history. What a lovely day. #Soane25

A brilliant thought provoking day at #Soane25. Thank you to @michaeldoron.bsky.social & the team for putting together a jam packed day of #History CPD 👏 Thoroughly enjoyed all my workshops and the chance to catch up with so many wonderful #historyteachers

'People, places, and a pinch of discipline.' A great way for @richkhistory.bsky.social to cap off a thoroughly enjoyable and interesting day at #Soane25 Plenty of ideas to take back to the team about worldbuilding in our History curriculum.

The NHS is so often really brilliant but today it has been a real let down. Op cancelled last minute (not for me), poor comms between hospital and GP, and to patient who has been left in the lurch after so long waiting. Frustrating.

A new term starts tomorrow and we're introducing booklets to our KS3 enquiries in History for the first time. One of my team has just replanned our British Empire unit so I'm excited to see how students respond to it.

Imagine being that idiot Rangers fan who just lobbed a coin at a Celtic player, and seeing a copper bag up that evidence up. Big ban incoming hopefully.

Wasn't a pretty watch but that was the kind of 0-1 result ground out that McLean (?) was talking about the other week. Great result. #ncfc

That week can get in the bin. One ill child, wife has been ill and I came down with a sickness bug Tuesday/Wednesday, and started losing my voice today. Broke my streak of calorie deficit and lifting weights this week which is disappointing but we're all knackered and just need to take it easy.

After a bit of a hiatus from gaming (played Starfield to death except the new DLC) I've now got a few games on the go. Star Wars Outlaws and AC Mirage have both been fun but I'm not hooked to either. Now giving STALKER 2 a go and quite enjoying it so far.

That's a great counterattacking goal from Southampton. They deserve something from this game.

We've changed our KS3 assessment system this year to have three formal assessments throughout the year. This is one of our Y7 assessments from this term having just done our River Kings enquiry, What stories are hidden in a carnelian bead?

Visited Flag Fen near Peterborough for the first time today. Really interesting place that includes this hall where part of the circa three thousand year old causeway is preserved by keeping it permanently waterlogged.

Having lived in Ely for a few years now, I spent some time planning an enquiry on the history of the Fens. Visiting Wicken and Welney have helped me come to really appreciate the beauty and calm of the wetland and see what it probably meant to live here centuries ago.

Norwich's defence giving Boro's attackers the freedom of the city in that half.

It's been an exhausting half term for sure but I'm so happy with how my new look team gives our students such a good deal. Lessons are calm and purposeful and they've taken History beyond the classroom into assembly halls, form rooms and even our local primary school.

Lovely to be able to chat with History trainees for a couple of hours this afternoon about assessment in History. Not always an easy topic to grasp but lucky to be able to draw on the thoughts of @counsellc.bsky.social @edurbin.bsky.social @mrmountstevens.bsky.social and others.
