A set of three sequencing activities to help develop chronological knowledge of British history (and ability to order events into order). Covers Stone Age to Iron Age Britain; Roman Britain; Anglo-Saxons and Vikings. Each resource is based on a range of twenty events and follow the same format. There are 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. Stone Age to Iron Age: c6,000 BCE ( Britain becoming physically separated from Europe ) 43 AD (Roman invasion ) Roman Britain: from 43AD (successful invasion) to 410 AD (when appeal to Rome for help turned down). Anglo-Saxon and Viking era England : from 449 CE (the traditional date for the arrival of the Anglo-Saxons in England) to 1066 CE (the end of Anglo-Saxon England following the Norman invasion and victory at Hastings).

A set of three map-based activities to help develop knowledge of British history. The three all follow the same format: An information power point which reveals the names of the tribes/towns/kingdoms (in alphabetical order). An outline map with the first letter of the tribe/town/kingdom to be completed. A more challenging version which has the location but no first letter. The tribes map has twelve tribes (chosen in part for their geographical spread) ; the towns has thirteen settlements (+ two walls); the kingdoms has the main seven of the Heptarchy. For each topic there is scope to add additional tribes/towns/kingdoms -especially if there is a location / tribe local to your school.

A set of three resources for: Pre-Roman Britain : 4,500BC to 43 AD Roman Britain : 43 AD to 410 AD Anglo-Saxons and Vikings : 449AD to 1066 AD Each resource has a pair of tasks with a range of different levels of challenge designed to support knowledge and understanding of the chronology of that period in British history. For each there is an information sheet with 16 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 these periods in British history.
