Inspired by sessions from previous Geographical Association (GA) and Historical Association (HA) conferences, Nat and Sally worked together to develop a enquiry-based schemes of work for Y7 that draw together the golden threads of the humanities subjects. Drawing on Anjana Khatwa's lecture (GA Conference 2025), the first looks at the geological processes involved in the formation of Hawaii, the stories told by indigenous peoples about the islands and the impact of colonisation and decolonisation. The second, inspired by Michael Riley's presentation on environmental history at the HA conference, examines the Industrial Revolution and its ongoing impact on our population and environment. This session will provide an opportunity to discuss these schemes of work and how you can work collaboratively with humanities colleagues in your schools.
