A resource to reinforce knowledge and understanding of the wider context of Holocaust Memorial Day. This worksheet looks at some groups of victims of the Nazis: Jews, Poles, Roma, Ukrainians with a range of activities (mostly numeracy based- such as completing outline graph or pie chart) looking at the number and proportion murdered as well as the Nazi’s ‘reasons’ for their murders. The information used makes it clear that the Jews were the main victims of the Nazis but that, in the words of the UN resolution, the victims included ‘countless members of other minorities.’

A set of over 50 of the popular vocabulary-based challenge. Each ladder has a four-letter word at the top and a different four-letter one at the bottom. Simply change the top word into the bottom one by altering one letter at a time (so creating three new words to fit in the empty ‘rungs’) Supplied on power point (1 ladder per slide) and in a word document (with answers separately) Ideal for use in tutor time or as a starter/time-filler -or even as a staffroom challenge!

What is it? Close up A set of 50 photo puzzles; Each slide on the power point has a photo of an everyday object BUT taken from close-up or an unusual angle. The challenge is to guess what the object is – the next slide each time has a photo of the same object but showing what it is (from a normal position). Ideal for use in tutor time, especially as an alternative type of challenge for those good at observation.

Updated for April 2024 changes to MLW and NI as well as to reflect price changes. A set of worksheets that will help students prepare for the world of work and living away from home. The first sheet looks at income from employment –considering the main deductions that lead to net pay being less than gross pay. The worksheet takes students though the process step by step, calculating the deductions from a national living wage job. The second sheet considers main household expenses such as rent, council tax and insurance. Again the worksheet takes a methodical approach, allowing students to see how quickly their income will be spent. Ideal for use in PSHE and functional maths –calculator required!; Also available as a separate resource is a pair of power point presentations which go through the same information showing students how gross income is reduced and basic spending.

A set of 40 observation challenges which require students (or adults!) to study images carefully. There are two different types of challenge: One is odd one out – a set of three pictures, the challenge is to work out which has one difference from the other two. The second is spot the difference -a set of two pictures , the challenge is to identify the six differences between each picture. They are provided both on power point and in word document format. They are suitable for use in a variety of settings -such as cover tasks, time fillers or in tutor time - even as a staffroom challenge.

A pair of tasks with a range of different levels of challenge designed to support knowledge and understanding of the chronology of Anglo-Saxons and Vikings (449-1066) 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.

A resource to help students improve their knowledge and understanding of the history of Roman Britain. This resource is designed specifically to help students in particular with the concept of chronology. To help with understanding the passage of time there is a power point presentation that shows the intervals between events, from the invasion of 43 CE (ordered by Emperor Claudius) to the end of Roman control in 410 CE (when the appeal to Rome for help was rejected). This has a range of 25 selected events and 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. Each slide has a date, event and appropriate illustration. (Each event slide is on show for five seconds and the whole presentation lasts for approximately five minutes). 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 this allows for an extra activity/challenge of students deciding what is missing/what could be left out?

A resource to help students improve their knowledge and understanding of the chronology of Ancient Sumerian history.

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 for use when providing resources for ‘school at home’. Supplied as a pdf for ease of printing 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. 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.
