Enrichment – something to discuss – Should black Americans get slavery reparations?

Posted on June 29, 2022 by Mr Kydd
If you click here you will get to a BBC discussion of this issue. Have a read, and let me know what you think. I guess central to this sensitive topic is the question how far we should right the wrongs of our forefathers.

If you click here you will get to a Guardian article explaining how digital wizardry and academic sleuthing have helped recreate a cultural treasure severely damaged in the conflict in 1922. It is a good example of how technology is giving historians access to new evidence / lost materials.

Enrichment – a chance to lead.

Posted on March 7, 2022 by Mr Kydd
Year Twelve – have a look here. The school is looking to involve itself in the Lessons from Auschwitz Online scheme.

This educational and commemorative project offers post-16 students the opportunity to learn about the Holocaust and consider its relevance for today. Through the bespoke interactive online platform, participants join others from across the country as they embark on an educational journey in which they:

  • Learn about the history of the Holocaust and the role of camps such as Auschwitz-Birkenau
  • Consider the individuals whose lives were affected by the Holocaust
  • Reflect on the relevance of the Holocaust today and share their learning with others

During the Project, participants:

  • Explore this challenging history by taking part in interactive, online Live Sessions, led by experts in the history of the Holocaust
  • Hear directly from Holocaust survivors, who share their personal experiences, including an online, live survivor testimony and Q&A
  • Experience the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum using virtual reality technology

Students end the course by completing their Next Steps, an opportunity for them to share what they have learnt and experienced with their school and wider community.

If you want to know more, please come and see me.

Mr Kydd.
