Interactive timeline of toys I used this with a Y2 class during a cross-curricular History/Literacy lesson before writing instruction manuals for toys.

This is a resource suitable for an entire lesson in upper KS2. The text is an aboriginal story called ‘The Spear’ and was taken from the website http://education.abc.net.au/home#!/digibook/2570774/dust-echoes, which has since been archived. The lesson introduces the concept of storytelling, the full text and comprehension activities. Available as a NOTEBOOK file, a POWERPOINT and also a PDF. I used this with Y5/6. If you love it, please leave me a review!

Activity: A4 half portraits of Henry VIII and his six wives; children to complete the missing half of the portrait. They are differentiated - the easiest ones are almost symmetrical, but to complete the harder ones the children must have some understanding of facial proportions and perspective. Assessment: A4 pictures of Henry VIII and his Six Wives for reference - show these when they have finished their portraits to see what they should have looked like! Used with Year Four and up.

Perfect for KS1 Toys and/or Materials topics, this resource pack includes: A presentation for whole-class discussion of timelines and chronological ordering of toys, A timeline worksheet differentiated three ways A blank timeline worksheet which can be used as an extension A materials worksheet differentiated three ways. Enough for 1-2 lessons and appropriate for a cross-curricular approach. Please contact me with any questions and leave a review if you love it!
