First post for our battlefields trip to Belgium and France - students individually had a soldier to follow linked to their area of Barnsley or in Noah’s case, his ancestor. They took a moment of silence and delivered a cross to their soldier @TrinityAcadStE

It was an incredible trip filled with many more fantastic sites and I’m sure that students have come away with amazing experiences and lots of gained knowledge. We were so impressed with the details remembered from all of our visits in the end of trip quiz night! @TrinityAcadStE

A big thanks to staff for taking time out of half term to facilitate this trip and especially to Mrs Shuffley for a jam packed and incredibly organised experience. We even found a new mascot 🤩 @TrinityAcadStE

A phenomenal leader getting her flowers - Shona has been the best mentor, curriculum lead and friend since starting at TASE in my first teaching role. I am so fortunate to have the privilege of working with such a team
Had the bottle to listen back to my own voice, it was a pleasure to record this.

On Tuesday Tim, a second generation Holocaust survivor is delivering a talk to a group of Y9 students. A topic we have focused on meticulously, as a department given a rise in antisemitic violence. This ties in to the work we will do for Holocaust Memorial Day @TrinityAcadStE

We’ve been working on annotation with y10 this week. They searched for information about Medieval beliefs of causes, treatments and preventions of the Black Death within a story, linking to prior knowledge on Medieval health 🩺@TrinityAcadStE

This week’s involve was investigating how ‘bloody’ Bloody Mary actually was. Students plotted information given on a scale and practiced their ‘writing like a historian’ skills that we’ve been developing within lessons 🌟

‘They develop knowledge and skills that belie their age. For example, Year 8 pupils can provide detailed verbal commentary on the causes of the Russian Revolution.’ So proud of our unashamedly ambitious History curriculum and our incredible students 👏🏻👏🏻

I love this so much. Also so aware of how much Barnsley needed this, serving the community you’re from and care so passionately about makes this even sweeter. Well deserved from all involved
