Today marks 110 years since the first OB was killed in action during WW1. In 2014 #BoltonSch bought ceramic Tower of London Poppies for each of the OBs who gave their lives. Over the next 4 years we will commemorate them by adding the poppies to a display in the Riley Centre.

Some of the 7E projects - I was the most impressed with the excellent feedback given from pupils to pupils. They used the positivity sandwich approach by starting with a WWW, then an EBI and then another WWW 🌎 @BoltonSch @Philip_Britton @LynneDKyle @BSGDLowerSchool @BSGDHistory

Nicholas Winton helped 669 Jewish children escape the Nazis. His efforts went unrecognized for 50 years. Then in 1988, while sitting as a member of a TV audience, he suddenly found himself surrounded by the kids he’d rescued, now adults. I like to remember this every Jan 27th.

It was great to welcome Lucy back into a Politics classroom - it doesn’t seem so long ago, and yet so much had changed.

On this day in 1066, William Duke of Normandy defeats England's King Harold II near Hastings. Although fewer than 20,000 combatants take part in the battle, its outcome echoes down through the ages.

This 500-year-old portrait may seem ordinary, but it's one of the most mysterious in history. There's so much detail that you can read every musical note on this small page. But look closer — an unsettling secret is hiding in plain sight... 🧵
