It was such a privilege to help edit this book- I learnt something from each chapter about what it means to teach history and do it well.

It will be really good. @catherinepriggs.bsky.social and @egcarr.bsky.social are brilliant at explaining how to integrate rich extended story with critical disciplinary thinking. They explain the #ChangingHistoriesKS3 series really well, giving great practical tips.

And let me know when you can come to the Lake! My son passed his swim test this year, so I’ll be there most ☀️ days! Xx

Oh and for something less ultra-processed, The Island of Missing Trees by Shafak is wonderful.

The school librarians have given me the Agency for Scandal trilogy for the summer and it’s Bridgerton meets Enola Holmes. It is not meticulously researched or high brow in the slightest and thus is perfect. I love it already.

The use of a puzzling, intriguing, scholarship-driven enquiry question is so central to my teaching. This masterclass will be brilliant!

Catherine Priggs @catherinepriggs.bsky.social · Jun 30

Really excited to deliver this FREE session with @egcarr.bsky.social
We’ll discuss the power of enquiry questions, including how they shape the analytic direction and purpose of a sequence of lessons, create a sense of intrigue & infuse lessons with energy! @counsellc.bsky.social

How does an enquiry question sustain interest, build momentum and give all pupils access to disciplinary thinking across a lesson sequence? How does the EQ help you to integrate compelling stories and rich, extended text?

I have a new blog, building on the work of @michaeldoron.bsky.social . If you love Star Wars, Andor, Grogu and the Mandalorian, then don't read it. The blog is not about any of that: lobworth.com/2025/06/27/s...

Space and size: students as relational cartographers in my new frontier of history teaching

I’ve been thinking a lot about space. Not in a Star Wars way (although I do know my Aldhani from my Alderaan). I’ve been thinking about space and distance. Inspired by Mike Hill’s seminal article o…

@jamesboycebooks.bsky.social Hi James, great to see you on BlueSky! @willgoodfellow82.bsky.social and I were hoping to ask you (yet another) question about mud and fens and big East Anglian skies, can you email me please or ping me a message here? Thanks so much!

So pleased to hear this!

Paula Lobo (Worth) @paulalobo.bsky.social · Jun 23

That’s right. And I have just been telling stories! Pausing in the right places, slowing down to build up cliffhangers, whispering the darker and more dangerous scenes like I’m telling a secret. The book is a goldmine for engaging children.

And here it is. Finally. Surrounded by some of the scholarship that shaped it. It’s beautiful and such fun to teach - it has given my Year 8 class stories to live inside. A parent messaged me to say history has ‘never been so fun!’ - all I did was tell the class stories from this book.

So happy that the scholarship of Ruby Lal, Emma Griffin, James Boyce, Vincent Brown and others will shine in this textbook - it was such a pleasure and privilege to work with historians, & the integration of images and text is spellbinding. Bravo @counsellc.bsky.social @willgoodfellow82.bsky.social

We’ve gone to press for #ChangingHistoriesKS3 Expanding Worlds! It’ll be hitting our warehouse on 13 June so do get your orders in! In my 10+ years of history publishing, I honestly think this is one of the best books we’ve produced. Spell-binding narrative, stunning visuals and super accessible.
