Hatcham History

A fantastic and thought provoking day for @HabsHatcham A Level students exploring the history on our doorstep in Greenwich at the @RMGreenwich and @CuttySark discussing curation, legacies and history always being a #workinprogress 🧵 1/2

Huge thanks to @aljhlester for his talk to a packed room of @HHCSixthForm y13 historians on legacies of slavery and mis/disinformation #legacies #statues #reparations #TruthaboutEmpire

A great @HabsHatcham open evening in the history department and a big thanks to our student helpers. Quotes of the evening from Rheedwan “you don’t know who Imre Nagy is?! Embarrassing!” and Enoch “best thing about history is you’re always in for a surprise.” #historyvibesonly

We’re really proud to offer students a free choice on their A Level coursework topic. Today this years @HHCSixthForm historians presented on their topics - topics as varied as Thomas Sankara, the Qing Dynasty, the Troubles, the 1973 coup in Chile and the fall of Apartheid

@ingridlunden Congratulations Eve!!! We are so proud of you!

Yes, that's my daughter who closed her eyes for the picture! Our genes run strong. So, so proud of Eve and her good friends for all their achievements.

An amazing activities week for @HabsHatcham historians with trips to @TowerOfLondon and @LDN_Museum Docklands. We wish them a safe and restful break and remember #nohistorynoholiday

A great day out for @HabsHatcham Y9 history rewards winners at the @I_W_M

A great Community Celebration Day with the Humanities team representing such widespread cultures as Bangladesh, Bosnia, Libya, Pakistan and Lancashire.

A big thank you to Ti-jean in @HHCSixthForm year 12 for the lunchtime lecture today at History Symposium on the events of "the other 9/11" - the coup against #Allende in #Chile in 1973. #victorjara #theclash #coldwar

Once year 13s Eoin and Gregory had settled a debate today about the height of Disraeli and Gladstone they cracked on with producing a monster timeline #howtallwasthathistoricalfigure #1882invasionofEgypt #wastheEarlofDurhamreallysosmall

An important and, at times, sombre class today from which Y13 took a huge amount; many left saying the sources will stay with them for some time.

Students then split into groups to analyse a range of documents considering policy of and resistance to the British mandate in Palestine coming up with themes and issues.

Our Y13 @HHCSixthForm historians were incredibly lucky today to take part in a source masterclass with the @BalfourProject that looked at the policies of, and resistance to, the British Mandate in Palestine 🧵

Our very own Mr Choudhury’s mum in this seminal @channel4 documentary. #Defiance. Important British histories in teach in schools - we look forward to having her in school to talk more about the doc and her experiences #BritishAsianhistory #proudMrChoudhury #antiracism

Great work by year 12 @HHCSixthForm students curating and presenting their own Soviet avant- garde exhibitions today with shout outs to Ti-jean, Alicia, Isabella and Zainab. #avantgarde #ElLissitsky #RedWedge

Year 13 @HHCSixthForm historians had a great day exploring the galleries and handling sources at @RMGreenwich discussing empire, trade, navy and legacies. #historyonourdoorstep
