This Knowledge Organiser (KO) was originally designed with a Year 3 class in mind when teaching the a unit on the Ancient Egyptians. It could easily be used or adapted for both older younger classes. Also included here are a series of quizzes to be used for retrieval practice. With special thanks to @MichaelT1979 for his inspiration using his History ‘Cheat Sheets’, part of which I have sampled in this KO. You kind find all of Michael’s resources, including his Cheat Sheets, on his website under the free resources tab.

I created this resources to gain a better understanding of overlap and sequence between historical periods across the world. It is intended to give an overview rather than give specific dates. Due to the broad range of time that I have tried to cover, the dates are only accurate to within a 50 year period. I do not pretend to be an expert in any of these periods, so the approximate dates are the result of research online. If you notice any major errors in these approximate dates please let me know and I will edit the resource. Similarly, If I’ve missed some key historic periods that you think would be useful to include, please let me know and I will update the resource accordingly.

This Knowledge Organiser (KO) was originally designed with a Year 3 class in mind when teaching the IPC unit ‘Inventions That Changed The World’.
