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 simple sequencing activity to help develop chronological knowledge of Ancient Sumer (and ability to order events into order). This is based on twenty events from c5000 BCE -start of the Uruk period and increasing urbanisation to c1760 BCE when the Babylonians conquered Mesopotamia. 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. This is a companion resource to our power point on this period -which features these and some additional events in a way designed to help develop understanding of the passing of time.

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 selection of 60 people who were the first in an occupation or to achieve a specific goal, ranging from the first Black MPs to the first British Ladies footballer via No1. Pop artist and police officers. As it is an introduction there is just the title of the event or a sentence about the person with the year they were ‘first’. An ideal resource to support Black History Month but also useful at any time-especially as a resource for tutor or assembly time. A power point presentation with one slide per person and their achievement (also in a ‘run through’ version that plays automatically); One of a set of linked resources featuring the same people. As it is an awareness raising resource this could be used as the basis for further research by students.

This resource provides a different way of developing knowledge of the kingdoms in Anglo-Saxon England. It involves matching ‘cards’ that have some very simple information on them. The knowledge covered is based on a list of the Heptarchy (plus three other names) along with a sentence about each one-such as ‘Kingdom of the South Saxons’. There are two separate yet linked activities: The first is a set of printable ‘cards’ with place name and the sentence about it – they can be used for matching pairs etc. Second is similar but set out as a set of ‘dominoes’ to allow for greater variety and a degree of support. The kingdoms/terms are: Anglo-Saxon East Anglia Essex Heptarchy Kent Mercia Northumbria Picts Saxons Strathclyde Sussex Wessex As there were other kingdoms (especially at different times) there is scope for an additional challenge of creating additional ‘cards’ or ‘dominoes’. (one good example being Cornwall).

This resource provides students with the opportunity to develop their knowledge of migration to the British Isles –both individuals born abroad and nationalities that have provided many migrants to Britain over the centuries. 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. (4 different sets of questions) 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 These provides students with the opportunity to develop their knowledge of a range of individuals or groups who were born abroad / moved to Britain whilst providing varying degrees of challenge/support. 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!) The four word-searches cover the following groups/individuals: Africans, Angles, Asians, Belgians, Chinese, Danes, Flemings, Germans, Huguenots, Indians Irish, Normans, Norwegians, Polish, Romans, Russians, Saxons, Somalians, Syrians, West Indians Prince Albert, Montague Burton, Joseph Conrad, Mo Farah, Lucian Freud, Alec Issigonis, Boris Johnson, Judith Kerr, Doreen Lawrence, Michael Marks Karl Marx, Freddie Mercury, Rupert Murdoch, Rita Ora, Shantra Patak, Prince Phillip, Cliff Richard, Salman Rushdie, Charles Saatchi, JRR Tolkien

A map-based activity to help develop knowledge of the Romanisation of Britain. There is an information power point with a map showing a number of Roman settlements in England and Wales as well as Hadrian’s and the Antonine Walls. It also shows the ‘modern’ names of each settlement -(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 first letter of the settlement. A more challenging version has the locations of the settlements but is otherwise blank for the students to write in the names. The third offers more support by having the first letter and the ‘modern’ name. There is also a version which has the name of the Roman settlement for them to add the ‘modern’ names. The settlements are: Aquae Sulis, Arbeia, Camulodunum, Deva, Dubris, Eboracum, Isca, Isca Dumnoniorum, Londinium, Lindun, Luguvalium, Noviomagus Regnensium, Verulamium. As this is just a selection of the multitude of settlements it allows for an extra activity/challenge of students deciding who else should be included/who could be left out? (or to include locations close to your school!) This is well suited to being adapted for ‘school at home’

A resource to help students improve their knowledge and understanding of the history of Roman Britain.

Since the end of WW1 the world has never been fully at peace. This resource is ideal for use in developing awareness and understanding of the extent of conflict in the modern world. This resource shows in visual form how the past 100+ years have still been a period of ongoing conflict (despite hopes that WW1 would be the ‘war to end all wars’). There is a selection of 50 different conflicts; a range covering civil wars, invasions and multi-national wars. The post 2000 period in particular helps support citizenship learning- through helping show why there are so many refugees given the recent and on-going conflicts. (The emphasis is on the global community so wars such as the Falklands which was ‘just’ UK v an opponent are not included in this resource). In the main presentation each slide represents one year (running through takes just over 5 minutes) with each year showing the selected conflicts taking place in that year (so some slides are rather crowded!). For each conflict the dates are given as well as one sentence about it (this only appears when the conflict begins). There is also a power point presentation of 50 slides -one per conflict- as well as a word document with the same information. Finally there is a set of three word searches featuring most of the nations involved in the featured conflicts.
