A collection of resources that illustrate the role that Imperial forces played in WW1 -did you know that over 1m Indian troops served?
There is a power point with a map slide showing the main contributors to the Imperial forces with each linked to a brief information slide; this information is also provided in a word document.
A worksheet looks at where Imperial soldiers fought and how many there were from around the globe.
There is also a wordsearch featuring fifteen of the nations that supplied troops and labourers to the Allied war effort.

A pair of tasks with a range of different levels of challenge designed to support knowledge and understanding of the chronology of Roman Britain from 43 AD to 410 AD
There are two information sheets each with 8 events taken from the period -for each one there is a picture, date and descriptive phrase. As with the tasks they are set out to make them easy to cut out for use by pupils (could also be laminated or stuck onto card). This also allows for a further degree of differentiation by varying the number of events to be sorted or matched.
In all there are seven sheets for each set of events -providing differentiation with a variety of levels of challenge whilst using the same events for all pupils.
The different variants are:
The information sheet ‘cards’ with date, picture and descriptive phrase,
The picture and the date of the event,
The picture and the description of the event,
The date and description of the event,
Just the description related of the event,
Just the picture related to the event,
Just the date of the event.
There are two tasks -one of sorting the events into order and one matching events with their picture/description etc.
The variety of sheets allows for a range of challenge through the amount of information provided (as well as the number of events provided to sort into order).
For sorting the events into their chronological order
These involve sorting using one of the following:
The dates (also with a choice of picture and/or description),
The description of the event,
The picture related to the event.
For matching cards to develop knowledge and understanding of these events there is a choice of levels of challenge:
Matching just the pictures with either description or date (or both),
Matching pictures and dates with their description,
Matching pictures and description with their dates,
Matching dates with description.
The same ‘cards’ could also be used for playing ‘pairs’ (memory game) -again with a range of levels of challenge depending on which variant is used and how many pairs.
These events/pictures are the same as those featured in the linked resources on this period in British history.

366 events/people from the history of Wales-from pre-Roman times to the Modern day.
This is a resource to increase awareness of Welsh history by informing students of a wide range of individuals and events which have a link to a different date through the year.
There is a power point presentation on which every day has its own slide with the featured event or person from the history of Wales. As it is an introduction there is just the title of the event or a sentence about the person with their birth/death dates.
The people range from the famous such as Dylan Thomas to the less well known such as Frances Hoggan. Similarly, the events cover a range from the rebellion of Owain Glyndwr to the first person to swim the Bristol Channel.
There is also a word document with the same information on.
As it is an awareness raising resource this could be used as the basis for further research by students; it is also suitable for use in assembly or tutor time.
This is a companion resource to our ‘Welsh People and Events’ which gives more information (a 250-300 ‘pen-sketch’) on forty selected people and events.
Word search and combined word search & quiz
This resource provides students with the opportunity to develop their knowledge of a range of people, places and terms relating to after WW1 whilst providing varying degrees of challenge/support.
Focussed 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!)
This wordsearch (& quizzes) features a range of places and terms:
Armistice clause disarm League Mandate
Reparations Rhineland Treaty Versailles War Guilt

This is a resource to increase awareness of Asian history by informing students of a wide range of individuals and events which have a link to a different date through the year.
There is a power point presentation on which every day has its own slide with the featured event or person from the history of Asia -including the Middle East. As it is an introduction there is just the title of the event or a sentence about the person with their birth/death dates.
There is also a word document with the same information on.
There is a wide range of events/people including the well-known such as Gandhi and Malala Yousafzai; there are also less famous ones such as Kenjiro Takayanagi and the Battle of San Juan del Monte. Similarly, we have tried to include every nation on the continent, so it literally covers Afghanistan to Vietnam.
As it is an awareness raising resource this could be used as the basis for further research by students.
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 resource to help students improve their knowledge and understanding of the chronology of Ancient Sumerian history.
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 24 selected events from c4,100 BCE -start of the Uruk period and increasing urbanisation to c1760 BCE when the Babylonians conquered Mesopotamia.
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 forty seconds the whole presentation lasts for approximately five minutes. (most transitions are eight seconds or shorter, 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). This 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.

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.
