Thank you so much, Vic! This is such a lovely review - exactly what we were aiming for, so absolutely thrilled it landed this way for you.

So so lovely to see you, Julie. Always a treat. Shame it wasn’t longer!

The recording should be on You Tube in a few weeks. If you dm your registration email address to me I’ll check Hachette have it on their list 😌

Thanks so much, Rachel! 🙏 Really glad the scenarios helped to model what we discuss.

71. I was delighted to get my hands on this! A book I really wish I'd had access to as a young history teacher. Extremely thorough and in-depth but I also loved the scenarios and practical lesson/scheme exemplars. Excellent read.

This series sets the bar high for ensuring pupils of all abilities and backgrounds can access rigorous, compelling school history.

By the end of the lesson, pupils were making thoughtful contributions about the rulers of this period and their struggles.

Every pupil in a mixed-ability comprehensive class was engaged. One girl even whispered to her partner three times, “I LOVE stories!”

- Reflected on the White Ship disaster and the consequences of the loss of Henry’s heir, William Atheling
- Explored ‘the Anarchy’ or “nineteen long winters” - a civil war between Stephen and Matilda - and how it affected ordinary people

The chapter ties everything together into one rich and accessible narrative.

In just one lesson, we:
- Unpicked the chaos after William I’s death
- Learnt how Henry I restored stability in England and Normandy…

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.

You were in my thoughts! So grateful to have started this journey with you - so much fun!
