The Tudors - From Start to Finish. This resource has been compiled as a time line of events and can be used as an independent home study or Zoom project. This Story about the Tudors is a comprehensive document in the form of a Power Point Presentation. There are over 100 images that give a taste of all that happened during this period of History. The study looks at the highs and lows of the main characters that lived and died during the reign of the Tudors. The whole package takes the form of 15 power point lessons that covers almost every possible topic that can be included within the Tudor Period. Topic examples include: Religion, Rebellion, War, Family, Execution, Affairs at home, Affairs abroad and Slavery to name but a few. Each lesson is concluded with a revision quiz that gives the children the opportunity to develop their writing skills. As all teachers know, History and use of the English language go hand in hand. This resource offers children from the age of 9 through to 16, a colourful opportunity to fully understand what happened during the reign of the Tudors as well as offering an extended project that develops individual literacy skills. The study can be delivered on three levels giving teachers the opportunity to use this resource with different age groups and ability levels. KS2 topics covered: Teaching Chronology, Black People / Slavery, Spanish Empire, Literacy and History. KS3 topics covered: Early Modern (16th & 17th Century), The Reformation, Henry VIII + Elizabeth I. All commission income will go to three different homeless charities. They are: Crisis, Salvation Army and The Berwick Project (Keeping young people off the streets).

Orienteering - PPP10 The Shape of the Land & Understanding the Contours. The aim of this presentation is to help the beginner and intermediate orienteer to get a mental image of the rise and fall of the landscape. In order to achieve success in this challenge, we need to understand the concept of contour lines. These brown lines on an orienteering map represents the differing levels in the landscape. In terms of altitude each line, (level on the land) could be between 2.5 and 5.0 metres apart. Contour lines close together reflect very steep slopes whereas lines wider apart would describe flat or gradually sloping land. This presentation aims to describe how the landscape can be pictured in one’s own mind thanks to the specific contour patterns shown on the maps. Some of the landscape features have specific names and shapes so they are easier to recognise and identify. Reading the contours and knowing the shapes takes the orienteer to a different level of success.

Ten Orienteering power point presentations, highlighting the many different skills involved in this incredible individual, family and team sport. There are many maps, images and videos included, that help the individual competitor to develop their knowledge and become familiar with the multitude of skills and experiences on offer in Orienteering. Topics included are: Landscapes, Historical connections, Navigation, Mapwork skills, Beginners advice, What to expect at your first event and many more coaching elements. This resource can be used in Spain and the UK as the slides and commentary are written in both English and Spanish. The presentations would be ideal to use as an introduction for examination candidates who have chosen the Outdoor Adventurous Sport of Orienteering as one of their physical activities. The whole resource would serve as an ideal introduction and learning experience for both individual candidates and families who become involved in this sport. This resource is on offer for a limited period (extended from 3 to 12 months) at half price. Any income from this resource will be sent to the following three homeless charities (The Berwick Project, The Salvation Army and Crisis). Thank you … Ian Patterson.

A vast collection of teaching materials from a lifetime of experience. 60% saving. This large bundle will serve a large number of young and experienced teachers alike. In as few words as possible I will explain the potential gains to be had from this vast collection of History, Geography and General Knowledge. A World and UK collection of outline maps that can be used alongside an Atlas or independently. Hundreds of images & exercises on World Geography. They serve to assist in a huge variety of Humanities lessons. Check out this map-work resource that covers all of the skills required to read maps and fully understand the use of maps. This resource gives us a taste of ten cities in the UK. It offers fact file projects and worksheets. Similar to that listed above. This Power Point Presentation presents 9 contrasting cities in the USA. It gives a taste of both History and Geography. The Africa Project. This presentation offers up a huge contrast between the physical and human geography of the African Continent. It takes the shape of a Power Point Presentation and progresses through each chapter as a quiz. Close to my heart are the Yorkshire Dales. One of my favorite National Parks where I spent many days roaming the hills and diving into numerous caves. Like all of my resources there are many images, exercises, diagrams, and support materials. Topics covered vary from field sketches to glacial features and understanding maps that are linked to the history of industry and how people work the land. A thoroughly eclectic mix of knowledge and experience. On the History front, this resource tracks the whole journey through World War One as a time-line of information. There are many links to old cinema broadcasts that help to transport the students back in time. As a History teacher, I spent a number of years delving into the life of Adolf Hitler. This resource is entitled “Development of a Dictatorship”. My most downloaded resource is this time-line. It tracks all of Hitler’s progress from 1918 to his death in 1945. Again, there are many links to specific events like Dunkirk, Pearl Harbour, D-Day landings and many more. Glancing through this resource gives our History students excellent practice at mastering their own time-lines. The Reign of the Tudors. This is another time-line of events with both images and notes that once again can help younger students start to get the idea of putting events in the correct order. The Story of the Tudors is an in-depth Power Point Presentation that can be broken down into bite size quizzes. This presentation serves to guide you and the children from start to finish through the whole Tudor Period. During the Pandemic Period, my wife and I wrote many General Knowledge quizzes for parents and teachers. They target children from Years 5 to 9 but many of them serve older age groups. Each quiz covers a huge variety of topics. Answers contain extra detail.

All 2021 income on this resource will go to Homeless Charities. Learn at school or at home about USA Cities. This presentation can be used for children between the ages of 9 and sixteen. There are fifty five slides and thirty nine pages of additional resource materials. I have selected the following cities because of their contrasting site, situation and geographical locations. They are: Boston, New York, Washington DC, Chicago, Detroit, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, San Francisco and New Orleans. This selection of cities offers extended studies in both Physical and Human Geography. Included in the slide notes and the resource file are suggested work challenges involving on line work, historical links, geographical writing skills, discussions and other map drawing exercises. The presentation can be targeted at nine and ten year old students but it will be necessary to use the shortened version of the script. Children between the age of eleven and fourteen should be able to cope well with most of the challenges. Key Stage 4 (fourteen to sixteen years) students involved in examinations will be able to link this resource with a large range of the exam topics. Some examples include: Boston and New York - Settlements, site, situation and geographical location. New Orleans - Flooding, Mississippi Drainage Basin, River features including deltas. Detroit - Industrial and population change. Chicago and Detroit - Location, Waterways and Trade, Glaciation and the Great Lakes. Los Angeles and San Francisco - Environmental Hazards and Tourism. Las Vegas - Desert environment, Water resources and the Entertainment Industry. Washington DC - Capital City, history, location, population, government and tourism. There are several IT challenges on offer that involve constructing a quiz word grid, following the course of the River Colorado by using on line maps, developing knowledge of site, situation and geographical location with a starting point in Downtown Chicago. The whole project is aimed at developing a wide range of geographical knowledge along with IT skills and the opportunity to improve writing techniques in preparation for higher level studies. I personally would use this resource for Year 9 groups in preparation for Key Stage 4 Geography. The History content makes it just that little bit more interesting.

End of Lock Down picture quiz 004. This quiz offers 20 images of important people dating back to the Romans in Britain to the end of the 20th Century. Each picture includes a number of clues to help identify the person. All of the people chosen have made a significant contribution to History around the World. The historical figures would probably best suit children from the Secondary sector but I am fairly sure that older Primary students may also benefit greatly from the choice of famous people included in this quiz. My selection includes people from Science, Sport, Politics, Royalty and Literature. I am sure that the children will learn a lot from the choice of people included. I hope you enjoy this quiz. Ian Patterson.

This is the fourth set of Lock down Quiz challenges (Numbers 016 to 020). Initially these quizzes were prepared for my two grand-daughters who are 9 and 11 years old. Some questions are easy others are challenging even for students in Years 10 and 11. The aim is to learn from the questions we cannot answer. These quiizzes are available to all parents and teachers who may wish to use them with their families or students at home. I have tried to make each quiz easy enough to allow youngsters to get a few correct especially at the lower age range. Even if children do not have the wide range of knowledge to answer all of the questions they can use the quiz as a fact gathering exercise by checking out the answers from the internet or other sources. I suggest the children try to answer each question without assistance for 3 points and then with help using research options (Alexa, Google etc.) for 1 bonus point. The answer sheet is equally important as I have tried to offer some wider background information about some of the topics. Going through the answer sheet is a valuable learning exercise. Doing each quiz as a family challenge may well be very entertaining (singles or pairs / with or without a quiz master?). With a quiz master there is no need to print each quiz. With teams, perhaps double points (2 points) for singles answering and one point for a shared answer. I hope you have some family fun… All the best … Ian Patterson.

This is a 20 picture quiz that includes cities from Europe. Each question offers a picture with a connection to each of the cities chosen. Along with each picture I have offered a number of facts to help identify the city. The clues are offered as a learning experience where the children can learn a little bit about the city in question whilst trying to identify each of the cities included in the challenge. The quiz can be tackled at three different levels. Firstly - 3 points would be awarded for a correct answer using only the written clues. Second - If the contestant is struggling they may be able to work out the answer by studying the anagrams offered at this stage. Answers given in response to the anagram would score 2 points. Third - For 1 point children can be offered the first letter that makes up the name of each city. On page 4 there is a map of Europe showing some of the cities in the quiz along with others that were not chosen. This quiz would be most suitable for children between the ages of 11 and 16. It may also be useful to Primary School pupils in Years 4, 5 and 6 with the help of an Atlas.
