New Term, New Users

For all those starting GCSE's or A-levels this year, welcome to the History Blog. This is intended as a resource for further studies, using the links opposite, and as an information site. Mr. Shergold and I will try and post on here to keep students updated about work assignments, or to add useful links for further research. We might occasionally indulge in some historically mediative peregrinations as well, so keep checking.

For the L6th., use the links opposite (under 'China') to help put material together for your Chinese Overview task. Meanwhile, under the YouTube links section, I have put the link to the first video in a series on China - this one introduces the 1911 Revolution, our starting point in the course.
