This icon of Egypt is 756 feet long at the base of each side, 450 feet tall and made up of 2,3000,000 blocks of stone, each averaging a weight of two and a half tons! Considering the creators limited tools, no side is more than eight inches more than the others, and the whole structure is perfectly in line with the four points of the compass. At the grand age of 4,500 years old, it is the only one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World still standing. The purpose of the structure is believed to be the tomb of the Pharaoh Khufu. Egyptians at the time believed their Pharaohs to be a living god who linked them to immortals. The pyramid stood as an eternal tomb for the pharaoh’s body and encouraged their beliefs of his continuing influence with the gods. Not just seen as a symbol of regal power, it was also a visible link between heaven and earth. These worksheets, with resources provided, help your students to research the workers, their working conditions and how they fulfilled their mammoth task!

This worksheet booklet begins by looking at the statistics of bullying and asking the students whether anything surprises them. They are asked to identify what they believe a bully looks and sounds like, which can spark an interesting discussion. We debate what is considered bullying as well as the primary types of bullying; physical, verbal, indirect and more commonly today, cyber. Why people bully and who they target is considered in conjunction with how a bully could be helped, and whether being a bystander makes them as responsible as the bully. Following on from discussing where to go for help and advice both in and outside of school, the students take part in a group project to act out a television or radio advert to give advice to these being bullied, these are then peer assessed. The booklet concludes in a class debate as to whether head teachers should be able to discipline students for cyber crimes which occur outside of school. A range of individual and group activities are incorporated within this booklet, including sharing their own thoughts and ideas from their own experiences, comparing their own ideas with others, working as a group on a collective task and assess these in an appropriate manner.
