An environment, materials and recycling themed colouring activity to inspire students to think about the materials we use to make things, and how we dispose of them after we use them. Ideal for primary school students, and students learning English as a foreign language.
A geography colouring page that can be used as part of a lesson about settlements and cities. This page is a city called Tbilisi, in the former Soviet Republic of Georgia where I used to live and work on educational reform projects in schools. Tbilisi gets its name after the hot pools: 'tbili' means 'hot' in Georgian language. The city was founded when the King was out hunting. and it is said that the pheasant he shot down fell and landed in the boiling spring waters, so it was cooked when he found it. You can sometimes feel tremors from earthquakes and the country has one of the oldest languages in the world and strong orthodox Christian roots.

A collection of photos and hand drawn colouring pages of the World War Two bunkers on the British Channel Island of Alderney, which was evacuated and became the base for four prisoner of war camps, and a large fortified wall. Photos are taken at Bibette Head and across the island, including the Anti Aircraft bunker known as ‘The Odeon’. I made a video of the bunkers (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VsXKBVzIBWo), and run free virtual field trips of the bunkers for schools through Skype in the Classroom. You might also enjoy my bunker colouring pages here on the TES.
The bundle would also be relevant for discussions about materials such as concrete and metal, sea water corrosion of metal, architecture and design, engineering, and the human impacts of the war. The local children were evacuated first, and Jewish labourers were brought to the camps. Today on the island you will find older generations and families where the labourers married the soldiers and the soldiers remained after the war to help clear up the 30,000 or more land mines. Why was the island part of Hitler’s Atlantic Wall? Was there a strategy in place? How was the concrete brought to the island by ship? How did they use concrete to camouflage the bunkers to look like rocks? Why did the soldiers take wood from the houses to burn?
A worksheet that students can colour in as they learn about the planet where we live. Suitable for a range of ages. Can be given as homework, revision, fun, or as part of the lesson.
I created this colouring page for my class as part of our module on the Vikings, journeys, and the British coast. It shows the 'Lerret Boat' which was designed by fishermen specifically for use on Chesil Beach as a result of the steep beaches and local winds.

A collection of photos of World Water Two German bunkers on the British Channel Island of Alderney and other related photos. These bunkers are made from concrete and were built by the prisoners of war, using designs from an engineer's handbook. My students have used the photos in their projects and presentations about World War Two. I hope you will find them of use to your class too.
