Year 9 History Elective – Boston Tea Party 

This term the Year 9 History Elective class has been exploring the causes of the American Revolution. On 10 August, the class was invited to a ‘tea party’ to explore a key event in the lead up to the American Revolution, the Boston Tea Party. While students indulged in cups of tea and scones, they discussed the impact of this event before reading primary accounts of different perspectives. Each student left with a better understanding of the event and smiling faces. 

The class would like to extend their thanks to Marcus and the kitchen team for allowing us to borrow their equipment for this event to run.
