Sent him an email about it and come across a bit

I’ve been very self indulgent with my Black History Month assembly this year. Telling the story of modern South Africa through the life of Lucas Radebe.

Am I too late to make a submission to the curriculum review?

Thanks to the great things I’ve been seeing on here from @counsellc.bsky.social, @hughrichards.bsky.social and @petejackson.bsky.social I’ve been really enjoying adding more short narratives to read at starts of lessons to next year’s booklets. Here are British Raj, Opium Wars & Yellow River Floods

Not going to miss an opportunity to get Orwell in there.

Needy enjoying re-writing our A-Leven British Empire booklets to take a more non-fiction, narrative tone. I’m trying to world build with contemporary quotes as much as possible.

For the first time in a while, I’ve gone heavy on Writing Revolution activities in resourcing Year 12’s independent practice on British Colonial and Native policy 1890-1914 tomorrow.

This is also the best book I’ve ever read.

This World Book Day I’m grateful for everything written and drawn by Julia Sarda.

A new genre on the record shelf.

Feels appropriate on Labour budget day. From John Le Carré’s afterward to A Murder of Quality.

OFSTED in drive to work.
