Year 2 had a fantastic visit from The History Van. A full day immersed in the day to day lives and activities of the Tudors - the good, the bad and the ugly! Everything from armour and wielding cross bows to weaving on looms and choosing ‘cures’ for victims of the plague!💙

Y2 had a brilliant day yesterday with @HistoryVan. We learnt so much about the Romans and especially loved being a part of the army!

Can you help? We're saddened to announce a break-in at Kelham Island Museum and would be hugely grateful for any information that could help @syptweetrecover the 12 items that were taken. You can find full info and contact details here: sheffieldmuseums.org.uk/news…
We’re really sad to share that Kelham Island Museum suffered a break-in at the weekend which saw the theft of 12 items relating to the city’s metalworking history. The objects, which include items from Sheffield Assay Office, the Ken Hawley Collection Trust and lenders to their collection, are an irreplaceable testament to the skill and excellence that has earned Sheffield makers a global reputation. Their historical significance is far greater than any financial value they hold. Some of these items are likely to find their way onto the market and are very distinctive – we’d be hugely grateful if you, our Twitter friends, could keep a look out and contact South Yorkshire Police if you have any information that might help their investigation. You can find contact details and images of the objects in the link above.

The tightest and hardest fought History Teacher Book Club vote has concluded. After nearly 500 votes were counted, with 40% of the vote, “The Uses and Abuses of History” by Margaret Macmillan will be our next #HTBC book club read. Thanks to everyone that participated.

We challenged @dev_101 from @BBCR1 to see how many fake news buzzwords he knew... How many do you know? 🤔 #FactOrFake

Y3s experiencing life in the Stone Age - hunter gatherers, scraping fur, hammering guts, building fences, making arrows and matching bones to the animal. Fantastic first hand learning. Thank you Kathryn from @HistoryVan

We really enjoyed our visit from the @HistoryVan this week! We had a jam packed history day where we made cutlery, wrote with ink pens, played with Victorian toys and much much more.
