Restoring an 18th century watermill for 21st century use
The narrative centers on Howsham Mill, a historic structure built in 1755, originally serving local farmers until its closure in 1947. After years of neglect, a discovery in 2003 sparked efforts by the Renewable Heritage Trust to restore the mill, transforming it into a modern educational center. Today, the mill features a waterwheel and Archimedes Screw turbines, generating hydro-electricity while preserving its architectural charm and historical significance, thus bridging the past with sustainable practices for the future.
“Mike Ferguson’s latest collection takes us to the heart of his passion for two things: poetry and education. In this wide-ranging anthology, it’s the wit and wisdom born of 30 plus years of teaching and writing creatively that shines through. Sometimes there’s anger: Who Killed the Thought Fox rails against those who only value things they can run their "measuring tapes” across, ignoring all the other things teachers do for children.

How people born all over the world came to live together on a multi-cultural street in inner-city Manchester
See One. Do One. Teach One provides a series of 12 engaging lessons for GCSE English pupils, with a particular focus on CCEA specification. The lessons have been created for pupils of all abilities and are based on tried and tested methods within a classroom setting. Pupils learn through direct observation of each task. Each lesson will act as a springboard for NQTs or can provide an opportunity to review and refresh teaching approaches for GCSE English Language. Using Rosenshine's Principles for Instruction, the book primarily focuses on direct instruction and scaffolding, live modelling and annotation, and further opportunities to act on feedback using extension tasks. Pupils 'see' an example in action delivered by an expert; 'do' by completing a related task under the supervision of their teacher; and finally they 'teach' one another by using carefully constructed questions for micro teaching. Teaching the skill or task helps reinforce the knowledge learned and helps the student develop even further toward mastery. The 'Teach One' section includes structured questions to develop vital GCSE recall and oracy skills. Pupils work together to complete independent reading and writing tasks.
