I am curating this collection for students to use in projects and presentations about forensics, police, crimes, and for creative projects about detectives and who dunnits.

A brief look at the nautical origins of the English language nursery rhyme ‘Jack Be Nimble, Jack Be Quick, Jack Jump Over the Candlestick’. Includes a free YouTube video and free, downloadable PDF file. This resource could be used by students with English as a foreign language, as part of a rhymes or poetry lesson, for World Oceans Day topics, or alongside any class themes about oceans, pirates, explorers, or the Caribbean. It may also be of use in a debate about women on ships, and the historical role of pregnancy in the legal system. May also be of interest to students learning about Yellow Fever, vaccinations, immune system, and effects of alcohol.

A collection of daffodil photos for use with your students. Mainly taken around Grasmere and Rydal Water where William Wordsworth lived and was inspired to write his famous daffodil poem. Could also be used for a lesson on flowers and plants, or as inspiration for spring or Easter. Please leave me a review and I will send you any other resource of your choice for free (contact me: office@oceansproject.com). Check out my other resources at my shop: /teaching-resources/shop/sarah277 Let me know if you have any resource requests and I will tailor make a resource for you.

A small collection of photos of William Wordsworth's former home in the village of Rydal in the Lake District, Cumbria, England and the church where he is buried in Grasmere. William Wordsworth was a famous poet who lived between 1770-1880. (Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Wordsworth). For more photos of Rydal and Rydal Water check out my Rydal photo collection. I wandered lonely as a cloud That floats on high o'er vales and hills, When all at once I saw a crowd, A host, of golden daffodils; Beside the lake, beneath the trees, Fluttering and dancing in the breeze. Continuous as the stars that shine And twinkle on the milky way, They stretched in never-ending line Along the margin of a bay: Ten thousand saw I at a glance, Tossing their heads in sprightly dance. The waves beside them danced; but they Out-did the sparkling waves in glee: A poet could not but be gay, In such a jocund company: I gazed—and gazed—but little thought What wealth the show to me had brought: For oft, when on my couch I lie In vacant or in pensive mood, They flash upon that inward eye Which is the bliss of solitude; And then my heart with pleasure fills, And dances with the daffodils.

What is the origin of the word window, and what does it mean in Old Norse? Do we still use Vikings words in the English language today? I made this page for my students as part of our module on the Vikings in Britain.

This was a really fun activity that I came up with for all of my geography classes (from Key Stage 2 to IGCSE) whilst teaching in the former Soviet Republic of Georgia. I had no idea whether the Queen (or her office!) would actually reply, but the students were delighted to receive a letter along with information about the Royal family, and of course a letter with the Buckingham Palace postal mark on it! This was hung in pride of place in the school entrance, much to the delight of visiting parents. The activity is based on the National Curriculum for geography, and how to address an envelope, along with understanding the differences between country, county, postal code, and street name. But is equally beneficial as part of a literacy lesson, introducing yourself to a stranger, or for talking about the cultural differences, or being on holiday. For example, Georgia has no postmen or women, and there are no post boxes, whereas Britain has red post boxes, and our stamp has an image of the Queen’s head on it. The worksheet itself is hand drawn as I had no resources in Georgia, other than access to a photocopier in the city. I hope you will enjoy this activity as much as we did. I sent each class’s letters in one envelope, we heard back a month or so later, mainly due to Georgia not really having a postal system at that time.

Three Christmas themed bookmarks to colour in.

Based on a popular YouTube challenge. This lesson is based on the following learning objectives from the British National Curriculum: LEARNING OBJECTIVES: ENGLISH KEY STAGES 1-4 1. students should articulate and justify answers, arguments, and opinions. 2. students should give short speeches and presentations, expressing their own ideas, and keeping to the point. 3. students should speak confidently, audibly, and effectively

This is a hand written resource that I created for my class in the former Soviet Republic of Georgia, so they could raise funds for an expedition they were planning. The theme was Alice in Wonderland and would help them to work in groups to organise the fundraising events and to raise the budget they needed for their school trip. There are 41 fundraising activities for students, some simple, some requiring a bit more input. Please note that there are some references to our local currency (GEL) and a couple of people or places that we had connections with, but you could easily substitute these for your local currency, people, or places.

I drew this boat on the water for my students to colour in and make up their own stories about journeys and exploration. Where would the boat take them, what would they see on the way?

A quirky themed worksheet which could be used for a variety of lessons. Based on the nautical origins of the ‘Thunderbox’ toilet. Especially of use for topics on euphemisms, World War II, undersea exploration, biology lessons on digestion and bowels (why we fart), and to demonstrate the important role that engineers have in preventing loss of lives.

A colouring page of Grasmere Water in the Lake District. Might be used as part of a local study, projects about William Wordsworth, or geological features.

Complicated Colouring Page Top-Up Activity. William Worsdworth English Poet inspired complicated colouring page of St Mary’s Anglican Church in Rydal, Lake District, England. St. Mary’s Church is an active Anglican parish church located in the village of Rydal, in the Lake District, Cumbria, England. Built in the Gothic Revival style, the church was funded by Lady le Fleming of Rydal Hall at a cost of £1,500. The foundation stone was laid in 1823 (Victorian era), and the church was opened in 1824, with its consecration taking place in 1825. The architect was George Webster. The church is historically significant for its connection to William Wordsworth, the famous poet, who helped choose the church’s site, which was originally an orchard. St. Mary’s Church is a Grade II listed building* and is recorded in the National Heritage List for England. I originally hand drew this colouring page of the church at Rydal in the Lake District for my students to colour in as part of our module on buildings, the poet William Wordsworth, National Parks, and tourism in the Lake District. But it would be just as useful for Easter and Spring time activities as well especially given Wordsworth’s poem about daffodils.

Part of a Halloween A to Z alphabet series that I created for my students to colour in for Halloween. Can be used to help learn the alphabet or just for fun. I had my class think of as many other Halloween words as they could for each letter, and to create their own drawings.
