A resource to help students improve their knowledge and understanding of the chronology of English history during the Anglo-Saxon / Viking period. 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 449 CE -the traditional date for the arrival of the Anglo-Saxons in England-to 1066 CE and the end of Anglo-Saxon England following the Norman invasion and victory at Hastings. This has a range of 26 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 allows for an extra activity/challenge of students deciding what is missing/what could be left out?

Two activities to help students improve their knowledge and understanding of the chronology of English history during the Anglo-Saxon / Viking period. -in a different, more ‘game’ based approach than a traditional worksheet. Both of which involve matching events to dates: 20 events selected from the power point on the topic of the Anglo-Saxon and Viking period in England: from 449 CE -the traditional date for the arrival of the Anglo-Saxons in England-to 1066 CE and the end of Anglo-Saxon England following the Norman invasion and victory at Hastings. The first is a set of printable ‘cards’ which can be used for sorting or matching tasks (such as the matching pairs game) – each event is on a separate ‘card’ from its date, organised in sets of 10 -there are two sets, but each can be used separately or the two combined to increase the difficulty level. The second is a set of ‘domino cards’ to provide a more supported matching challenge; these feature the same events and each ‘card’ links to another forming a ‘domino’ like chain (which again can be used as a set of 10 or both combined for greater challenge).

Two activities to help students improve their knowledge and understanding of the chronology of Roman Britain -in a different, more ‘game’ based approach than a traditional worksheet. Both of which involve matching events to dates: (20 taken from those featured on the power point resource on the history of Roman Britain) 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). The first is a set of printable ‘cards’ which can be used for sorting or matching tasks (such as the matching pairs game) – each event is on a separate ‘card’ from its date, organised in sets of 10 -there are two sets, but each can be used separately or the two combined to increase the difficulty level.

A power point presentation featuring a range Ancient Greek gods/goddesses For each one there is a slide with a picture and their main ‘responsibility’ as well as a recognised emblem. This is a ‘click through’ presentation with a contents slide in the form of a family tree so that if preferred the teacher can select a specific deity. The 14 deities covered are: Aphrodite, Apollo, Ares, Artemis, Athena, Cronus Demeter, Hades, Hephaestus, Hera, Leto, Persephone, Poseidon, Zeus -the same as those featured on our other resources designed to support learning about Ancient Greek Gods and Goddesses.

This is a set of three comprehension activities on a range of Olympian deities (the same as featured on our linked resources): Aphrodite, Apollo, Ares, Artemis, Athena, Cronus, Demeter, Hades, Hephaestus, Hera, Leto, Persephone, Poseidon, Zeus The three challenges offer a range of difficulty in terms of literacy and so helps provide a degree of differentiation whilst studying the same gods/goddesses. The first is to read a piece of informative text (c 220 words) which covers all the deities and their area of influence and then complete a table -giving the relevant area for each god/goddess. The second is to read a shorter piece of text (160 words) and then complete a family tree ; there is also a support version with the first letter given. The third has a table giving the deities and their symbols/associated objects with a blank table to complete using this information -as well as a version for students to draw the appropriate symbol. This resource provides students with the opportunity to develop their knowledge of a range of 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

A set of linked resources and activities to help develop knowledge of the Romanisation of Britain. In part this takes a cross-curricular approach through geographical place locations. There is an information power point with a map showing a number of Roman settlements in England and Wales as well as Hadrian’s and the Antonine Walls. The settlements are: Aquae Sulis, Arbeia, Camulodunum, Deva, Dubris, Eboracum, Isca, Isca Dumnoniorum, Londinium, Lindun, Luguvalium, Noviomagus Regnensium, Verulamium. It also shows the ‘modern’ names of each settlement. The main activity is to complete an outline version of the information map. This comes in different versions: One has the locations of the settlements but is otherwise blank for the students to write in the names. The second has the first letter of the settlement. The third has the first letter and the ‘modern’ name. The fourth has the name of the Roman settlement for them to add the ‘modern’ names. The word document lists the settlements and has three separate activities. The first is a set of printable ‘cards’ with the Roman and modern names of the settlements from the map – they can be used for matching pairs etc. Second is similar but set out as a set of dominoes to allow for greater variety. Thirdly is a set of two word searches covering most of the names of the featured settlements. (not Chichester as Noviomagus Regnensium is too long to fit!!) Together the set provides a range of ways of developing knowledge of Roman Britain and are all well suited for homework or adapted for ‘school at home’.

A resource to help students improve their knowledge and understanding of the chronology of Ancient Egyptian history. 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 3100 BCE (founding of the First Dynasty) to 30 BCE (Roman annexation of Egypt). This has a range of 22 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 given the lack of unanimity over Egyptian history- this allows for an extra activity/challenge of students deciding what is missing/what could be left out? In addition there is also a power point showing the main periods (the ‘kingdoms’ etc-again ‘run through’ to show how long each period lasted in relation to the others.

A resource to help students improve their knowledge and understanding of the chronology of the history of Britain (England) before the Roman Conquest. 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 6,000 BCE when Britain became separated from Europe with the submerging of Doggerland to the Roman Invasion in 43 CE 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).

A set of linked resources and activities to help develop knowledge of Britain before the Roman conquest. There is a power point with a map showing a number of Celtic/Iron Age tribes in England, Wales and Southern Scotland: Atrebates, Brigantes, Corieltauvi, Cornovii, Dumnonii, Durotriges, Iceni, Novantae, Ordovices, Regnenses, Silures, Votadini (selected in part to give a wide geographical on the map). As this is just a selection of the multitude of tribes it allows for an extra activity/challenge of students deciding who else should be included/who could be left out? There are also slides to print out with the names missing (or just the first letter provided) for students to complete (the list is contained in the word document). The word document lists the tribes with their approximate modern day areas and has three separate activities. The first is a set of printable ‘cards’ with the name of the tribe and its approximate modern day area for the tribes on the map – they can be used for matching pairs etc. Second is similar but set out as a set of dominoes to allow for greater variety. Thirdly is a set of two word searches covering most of the names of the featured tribes and the main modern day areas. Together the set provides a range of ways of developing knowledge of Pre-Roman Britain and most activities are suitable for homework or adapted for ‘school at home’.

A set of two activities to help develop knowledge of Britain before the Roman conquest. There is a power point with a map showing 14 selected Iron Age sites in England and Wales.: Bigbury Camp, Bredon Hill, Castell Henylls, Castle How, Chyauster, Cissbury, Glastonbury, Maiden Castle, Mam Tor, Pen-y-gaer, Stanwick, The Wrekin, Uffington, Wandlebury (selected in part to give a wide geographical spread on the map). As this is just a selection of the multitude of sites it allows for an extra activity/challenge of students deciding where else should be included/where could be left out? There are also slides to print out with the names missing for students to complete -as support there is one with the first letter provided (the list is also contained in the word document). There is also a word document with a word search covering the same sites. Together the set provides a range of ways of developing knowledge of Pre-Roman Britain and the activities are suitable for homework or for ‘school at home’.

AA simple sequencing activity to help develop chronological knowledge of Pre-Roman Britain (England) There is a list of 24 events with dates -but events are listed alphabetically- and a blank table to enter the information into. So students need to sequence the dates first (there is a sheet/table to help them with doing this). There is also a support version in which the table to complete has the dates in order so students just need to find the corresponding event. The events are mostly those which feature in the linked resources on developing chronological understanding including the power point-from 6,000 BCE when Britain became separated from Europe with the submerging of Doggerland to the Roman Invasion in 43 CE This resource is suitable for use in class as well as ideal for homework / independent study.

Two activities to help students improve their knowledge and understanding of the chronology of history -in a different, more ‘game’ based approach than a traditional worksheet. Both of which involve matching events to dates: (the same as on the power point resource on Ancient Greek history) from the First Olympics in 776 BCE to the Romans taking control of Greece in 146 BCE The first is a set of printable ‘cards’ which can be used for sorting or matching tasks (such as the matching pairs game) – each event is on a separate ‘card’ from its date, organised in sets of 10 -there are two sets, but each can be used separately or the two combined to increase the difficulty level.
