A select group of MGS students and staff toured the Stonehenge and Avebury landscapes visiting Woodhenge, Durrington Walls, Silbury Hill, West Kennet Long Barrow and my personal highlight, Windmill Hill, where you can see view the main prehistoric sites. Neolithictastic!
This week a group of pupils from Y9-12 met to discuss the Eastern Front in World War Two and the role ego played in the planning and failure of the Nazi invasion. This show and all previous ones can be found via on.soundcloud.com/8z5Gf #History #WorldWarTwo #Historyteacher
Terrible news about the deliberate felling of the tree at Sycamore gap :( news.sky.com/story/sycamore… - I've been taking children to see this for most of my teaching career and its one of the things they remember most clearly. The photos are of our visit in 2021.
Another excellent tour of Bosworth field (@BosworthLCC) for our Year 8 historians following last year's project on the "Princes in the Tower." This was followed by a visit to Richard III's original place of repose (@KRIIICentre) - next year the cathedral will be open!
bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan… - very resonant after our visit to the excellent @bletchleypark in June.
Just discovered this excellent series on BBC Sounds - not sure that "dictator" is an appropriate term for either Genghis Khan, Pol Pot and Napoleon, but these in depth portraits are very good: bbc.co.uk/sounds/brand/p…
What if the US had developed, but not used the atomic bombs? [THREAD]
Year 10 historians ended the school year with a visit to recently refurbished @bletchleypark following the footsteps of Manchester icon Alan Turing by touring the site and a workshop on how breaking the Enigma code helped the Allies in the Battle of the Atlantic and D-Day.
A week on, the parallels with the Kornilov revolt are striking. Both events were murky, confused events that saw a military force move away from the front in a failed attempt to change government personnel that left the executive weakened. What happens next is the question...
Kornilov Revolt anyone?
"As the president and commander-in-chief, as a citizen of Russia, I will do everything to defend the country," Putin says. "Those who organized and prepared the military uprising, who took arms against their comrades, has betrayed Russia. And will pay for it."
Excellent talk by Haseeb Khan from @mcphh_mmu on his new research project "Muhammad Ali in the UK" with its fascinating implications for future history encompassing social media, oral history & the connections between the global and the local. The audience were sat the back!
With so much focus on the coronation at Westminster, some Year 12 history students visited the first capital of England, site of some of English history's most significant royal coronations at @WinchesterCath3 as well as visiting Arthur's round table at the @GreatHallWinch.
@StateNervous great day of drama (mainly in stage), learning (with and from students) and thought-provoking discuss about dramatising Lucas’s Journal Under the Terror. Thanks to the great team who made it happen… it take more than a village
Have just finished the new book by @hoyer_kat on East Germany "Beyond the Wall" - accessible, clearly written with provocative analysis on the achievements of the DDR. Complemented our recent visit to the DDR museum in Berlin. Highly recommended for 6th formers and teachers.
For our final day we had an excellent tour of the Topography of Terror (@pressetopo), based on the ruins of the former Gestapo Headquarters, before visiting Checkpoint Charlie, Tempelhof Airport and finally a fantastic tour of the Berlin Wall Memorial on Bernauerstrasse.
On Thursday we travelled to Potsdam to visit the Cecilienhof Palace, location for the Allied conference of July 1945, before walking through Sansoucci Park. We then visited the House of the Wannsee Conference Museum where the last phase of the Holocaust was facilitated in Jan '42
On Wednesday we visited @GMSachsenhausen with our excellent guides from @virtualberliner. We also explored the old centre of West Berlin at Kurfürstendamm, passed the memorial of Karl Liebknecht before an excellent tour at the Memorial of German Resistance at the Benderblock.
On Tuesday we visited the Soviet War Memorial in the Tiergarten, followed by a tour of the Reichstag. Then we explored the historical government centre of Wilhelmstrasse, and memorials such as the site of the Fuhrerbunker and the attempted June 1953 East German revolution.
We also had an excellent Year 10 trip to Berlin running last week for the first time since 2019. Many thanks to @TCBCSchoolTours for their excellent organisation. On Monday we had a coach tour around Berlin and visited the Memorial to the Murdered Jews and Olympic Stadium.
