Tremendous time last night at Kemps with @petejackson.bsky.social talking about and signing copies of LITTLE KINGDOMS I only realised after I’d sat down that I was wearing the exact same socks as when I was last here talking about my previous book

Really chuffed with this multiple choice quiz on Forms made to support revision for Elizabethans Question 6. Our exams data always suggests this is a question for us to work on and this will really strengthen our revision support for this. #historyteacher

Lots of chat about the *last* English royal to be arrested, but who was the first? The Anglo-Saxons typically bumped off their rivals, so I'll start the bidding with Odo, bishop of Bayeux, arrested and imprisoned by his half-brother, William the Conqueror, in 1082.

Really enjoy this approach to teaching Germany Q6 and Q7 for OCR B by studying a range of sources, getting students to think and then using them as hinge questions to check whole class understanding of which is the best answer and also identifying potential misconceptions. #historyteacher

Every year, students say they can't read my writing on feedback. This year I've used a mail merge to import the data direct from excel - it means they are clear on the feedback and I retain the feedback for my own reference. Game changer #historyteacher Well done Chris P. Bacon! #notarealstudent

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.
