Updated for Charles III
This resource is a power point with a difference to support knowledge and understanding of chronology.
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)
A set of three different types of prompts to encourage discussion in a structured way and promoting tolerance of different views
There are:
40 Discussion points with a citizenship related question that requires a group response -e.g. ‘Should driverless cars be allowed on UK roads?’
20 Moral dilemmas with a particular focus on reflecting on personal and social values- each Moral Dilemmas provides a situation (such as finding money in the street) and asks student’s how they would respond –individually or as a group.
10 Top threes : select three items for a category-such as crisps - so means consideration of criteria for decision making (in a more light hearted manner than some of the other two types which include bullying and capital punishment)
Resources are supplied on a power point and a word document
The objectives are to encourage students to
discuss and so develop their speaking and listening skills;
reflect on their values and how to treat others with respect
They fit into many areas of school life; ideal for use in tutor time -especially in encouraging talk with a focus and helping tutors learn more about their group.
Suitable also for use in PSHE/Citizenship and RE –saving the need to devise suitable scenarios.
A collection of resources that help illustrate the significant role that Imperial forces played in WW2 -did you know that over 2m Indian troops served?
There is a word document with some basic information about the main contributors to the Imperial forces -used as the basis for the worksheet. There is a power point with the same information , including a map slide linked to a set of brief information slides -one about each major participant.
A worksheet looks at where Imperial soldiers fought and the casualties they suffered.
There is also a wordsearch featuring some of the nations that supplied troops to the Allied war effort, as well as some major campaigns.
Gives a brief indication of the role of forces from: Australia, Canada, India, New Zealand, South Africa, East Africa, West Africa, West Indies.
Ideal for study of the British Empire as well as ‘Black History’ -this is a companion to our resource on Imperial soldiers in WW1
Word search and mini quiz combined
A set of word searches to help develop knowledge of migration to the British Isles –both individuals born abroad and nationalities that have provided many migrants to Britain over the centuries. Has twenty of each of a range of individuals and nationalities.
There is a set of four different word searches – two on individuals, two on nationalities.
In each set the first version is a ‘traditional’ one with the words provided.
Then there are four versions with a quiz: this has the same words to find but they aren’t provided -first you need to use the clues (questions) to work out what word you are searching for.
One just has the clues then there are three supported versions (each of the four has the same clues): the first has the first letter of the answer; the second has the number of numbers in the answer and the third has both the first letter and number of letters.
This 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 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.
Ideal for study of the British Empire as well as ‘Black History’
This resource provides a different way of developing knowledge of Anglo-Saxon England.
There is a list of the Heptarchy -the seven main Anglo-Saxon Kingdoms in England during the Viking & Anglo-Saxon period, along with a sentence about each one (plus the Picts, Strathclyde and ’Heptarchy’).
The places are the same as those featured on our linked map and wordsearch/quiz resources:
Anglo-Saxon East Anglia Essex Heptarchy Kent Mercia Northumbria Picts Saxons Strathclyde Sussex Wessex
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.
As there were other kingdoms (especially at different times) and there is scope for an additional challenge of creating additional ‘cards’ or ‘dominoes’.
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 and their approximate borders:
Anglo-Saxon East Anglia Essex Heptarchy Kent Mercia Northumbria Picts Saxons Strathclyde Sussex Wessex
The activity is to complete an outline version of the information map. This comes in two different versions:
One has the locations of the kingdoms but is otherwise blank for the students to write in the names.
The second has the first letter of the kingdom as a support.
Students can also colour in the kingdoms and non-Anglo-Saxon areas with a key provided.
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.
As well as a class-based activity this is suited for homework or printed out for ‘school at home’.
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 support learning about Welsh history throughout the year
There are two linked components -featuring the same events/people.
On the power point presentation every day has its own slide with the featured person or events associated with Wales.
In the word document each event/person has a page with a short pen sketch of c250-300 words.
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. (This is a companion resource to our other ‘Years of’ so we have tried to avoid duplicates but this has not always been possible)
An informative resource especially suitable for use in assembly or tutor time.
Word search and combined word search & quiz
A more challenging version of the always popular activity - it comes in a range of versions to provide differing degrees of challenge: each wordsearch has a grid and to find the same answers so that all students are covering the same range of people, places and terms whatever the level of support/challenge.
The first version is a ‘traditional’ one with the words provided.
Then there are four versions with a quiz: this has the same words to find but they aren’t provided -first you need to use the clues (questions) to work out what word you are searching for.
One just has the clues then there are three supported versions (each of the four has the same clues): the first has the first letter of the answer; the second has the number of numbers in the answer and the third has both the first letter and number of letters.
This 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. 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
A selection of 50 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.
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.
