Rossett History

@rossett_arts @Rossett How it looked at Bellewaerde 1914-18. We could hear people enjoying the rides from Hooge Crater Museum last Saturday

@rossett_arts @Rossett We sat in that very square last Sunday and this evening will be eating chocolates purchased there. Say hi to Leonidas from us!

Time to fire up the old Twitter account in preparation for our exciting tour with @ZGTours4Schools which sets off this Friday. You can follow it all here. We can’t wait! #historyteacher #ProudToBeRossett #ww1

@Jack_Sm1th98 @RedKiteTT @Rossett Well done Mr Smith, you’ve made a great start. Enjoy your break!

Well first half term done with @RedKiteTT and I am knackered but have loved every minute of my placement at @Rossett

@GerMilHistory He looks like he’s doing an impression of Al Pacino but it’s a very thought-provoking photograph

Hanovarian veteran Wilhelm Grope, formerly of the Prince Regent Hussars, fought at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815. This cheerful family photo, albumin cdv, was taken around 1860. #history #photography #photooftheday

GCSE results this year were the best they have been in recent history in our department by a long way. For the first time, Geography has (arguably) outperformed most subjects in the school. Some reflections on what might have made the difference with this cohort. THREAD:

@Scriblit Saw this and thought of you @rossettPE - whilst so many girls have clearly suffered substandard PE experiences there’s you helping so many girls to have a chance to love sport. You produced @RachelDaly3 and all those who don’t get to play for England are just as important #proud

Amazing heraldry efforts at open day today from our visitors. They’re clearly a great bunch!

@JamaicaLeeds history dept in harrogate with kids also coming from Leeds, just making a unit of work on the impact of and challenges faced by migrants to Britain through time. Can you recommend some local stories for us to share with the students?

@ParanoidPianist Can’t*

@ParanoidPianist I’m afraid we don’t have them for later in the course, I can’t remember where we got them from either. Sorry that I can be of more help with this

@RossettHistory please can you upload the A2 revision sheets for the USA history course? The A1 mindmaps were a lifesaver

@ParanoidPianist Send me a link to what you mean from the A1 bit and I’ll have a look 👍

@RossettHistory You know the revision resources for each chapter that were there? The A2 section only has flash cards but the A1 section of your website has a revision resource that has mind maps and powerpoints that summarise the textbook

@rossettPE Sorry it is a week behind, here’s my juggling attempt. Loving the challenges

Rossett Skill School Week 4. We are challenging all our students and family members to join the Rossett school community and attempt our weekly PE skill. Video your attempts and get tagging @rossettPE. Good luck, Team PE #rossettreds #StayHomeStaySafe
