A simple sequencing activity to help develop chronological knowledge of Ancient Egypt (and ability to order events into order). This is based on twenty events from King Narmer unifying Egypt in c3,100 BCE to the Roman annexation (30 BCE) This comes in three different variants to provide support or challenge, but all are based on the same approach. This is where the events are listed alphabetically -with their approximate dates- and students need to sort them into chronological order -using the outline sheet provided. This means that they are suitable for adaptive teaching, by providing degrees of scaffolding whilst keeping the content the same. The main activity is where the events are arranged in groups of five (each of the four different sets in order so that the ‘blank’ timeline is filled from oldest to newest) -there are blank sheets to help with the sequencing. For greater challenge there is a version with the events organised into two groups of ten events. For support there is an outline timeline table with the dates already provided, students need to match the correct events to the date. (The correct order of each set of ten events is provided!) This resource is suitable for use in class as well as ideal for homework / independent study.

A simple sequencing activity to help develop chronological knowledge of Anglo-Saxon and Viking era England (and ability to order events into order).

A set of thirty-five thirty pages of colouring sheets: A resource to support work on this popular topic as well as being useful for cross curricular art and when providing resources for ‘school at home’. The images have been selected to cover a range of topics from Britain (and some elsewhere) during the Anglo-Saxon Period including the Viking attacks and settlements. Includes workers, buildings, ships, coins, jewellery and the farming year etc. Supplied as a pdf for ease of printing-designed for A4 but can easily be printed multiple images on a page if wished. The images are taken from a range of public domain sources (mainly 19th century books). As they are mainly screenshots of old book pages this may be reflected in the quality of the outlines though many have been digitally enhanced to help provide an outline for colouring in.

A resource to help students improve their knowledge and understanding of the chronology of English history during the Anglo-Saxon / Viking period. This resource is designed specifically to help students in particular with the concept of chronology through a visual example. The power point is designed to convey a sense of the passage of time by having the transition between slides vary in length depending on how many years actually passed between events. There is a range of 26 events, from 449 CE -the traditional date for the arrival of the Anglo-Saxons in England-to 1066 CE and the end of Anglo-Saxon England following the Norman invasion and victory at Hastings. Each slide has a date, event and appropriate illustration. Each event slide is on show for five seconds and with the transitions varying from one second to twenty-four seconds the whole presentation lasts for approximately five minutes. (most transitions are shorter than ten seconds, so students don’t have too long to wait but does give a sense of different lengths of time). There is also a ‘click through’ version of the slide show (same events) to enable the teacher to pause to give additional information or discuss the event with students. The selection of events is not meant to be definitive for the study of that period (it’s a selection not a comprehensive timeline). It is also a compilation from a range of different sources allows for an extra activity/challenge of students deciding what is missing/what could be left out? This is a companion resource to our timeline activity on this period -which features most of these events in a sequencing challenge.

This resource provides students with the opportunity to develop their knowledge of a range of people, places and terms relating to the 20th century whilst providing varying degrees of challenge/support. This is a set of three different word searches & quizzes on Britain’s international relations in the 20th century, each of which follows the same format. They are based on a quiz that is connected to a wordsearch. Each version of the quiz has a set of ten questions, the answers to which are also contained within the wordsearch. There are four versions : One has just the questions. One has the first letter of the answer. One has the number of letters in the answer. One has both the first letter and number of letters. This means that they are suitable for adaptive teaching, by providing degrees of scaffolding whilst keeping the content the same. There is also a ‘traditional’ version that just has the wordsearch with the words provided. They are suitable for use in class -both as a main activity and as an extension task- as well as for homework / independent study or a cover lesson activity or as a resource for ‘school at home (maybe even as staff challenge!) Thess wordsearch (& quizzes) features a range of places and terms: The places/terms covered are: Abyssinia Appeasement Blitz Boer War Cold War Conscription Depression deterrent Dominions Dreadnought Dunkirk Empire Entente Europe Falklands Gallipoli Gulf War Hong Kong Independence India Israel Jamaica Jutland Kenya Marne NATO Pakistan Security Somme Suez crisis

A map-based activity to help develop knowledge of Anglo-Saxon England. There is an information power point with a map showing the Heptarchy -the -seven main Anglo-Saxon kingdoms (reveals the names alphabetically). A separate pdf contains the activity which is to complete an outline version of the information map. This comes with both a more challenging version and a support version. This means that they are suitable for adaptive teaching, by providing degrees of scaffolding whilst keeping the content the same. The main version has the locations of the kingdoms marked out with the first letter of the kingdom for students to complete. A more challenging version has the kingdom’s outlines marked but is otherwise blank for the students to write in the names. There is also a version with the names on so that students can colour in the kingdoms and non-Anglo-Saxon areas. As there were other kingdoms (especially at different times) and borders moved over time there is scope for an additional challenge of creating an alternative map -one good example being Cornwall. (or to add one local to your school!) As well as a class-based activity this is suited for homework or printed out for ‘school at home’. This resource uses the ‘main’ Heptarchy of : East Anglia, Essex, Kent, Mercia, Northumbria, Sussex, Wessex

This resource is a power point with a difference to support knowledge and understanding of chronology as well as the monarchs of England/Britain. Each slide features a picture of the monarchs of England/Britain from Alfred the Great to Charles III. Each slide appears for a varied amount of time. This helps show how much real time they reigned for – in this presentation 1 second equals 4 years (so the presentation lasts for around 5 minutes) There is also a ‘click through’ version of the slide show to enable the teacher to pause to give additional information or discuss the monarch with students.

This free resource is taken from a collection of resources that illustrate the role that Imperial forces played in WW1 -did you know that over 1m Indian troops served? The wordsearch features fifteen of the nations that supplied troops and labourers to the Allied war effort.

A worksheet looks at where Imperial soldiers fought and how many there were from around the globe. Ideal for study of the British Empire as well as ‘Black History’

A selection of activities to help tutor groups or classes get to know each other. The full version of this resource has 32 different activities on both power point and word document The power point has five different groups of activities: Sorting activities – getting children moving and engaging with each other; ‘Find someone who ‘ – needs the children talk to each other. They have to find someone who can do a particular task or who likes something particular or who has (done) something. Discussion points - a set of questions to get small groups talking about issues (we have tried to avoid any controversial topics) Dilemmas – a different type of question for groups to discuss their response to certain situation (again we have tried to avoid any controversial topics) Miscellaneous – a selection of 10 challenges including ‘think outside the box, number association and ‘tell the time’ The word document with the full resource contains the same activities- with sheets to fill in for the ‘Find someone who…’ challenges. The new 2022 version also has some visual challenges to provide a different opportunity for group work (‘spot the differences’ and ‘what is it?’)
