Your students task is to discuss why they think Stephen Fry was chosen to host such a welcome and choose the perfect candidate for a welcoming sequence they will write for your own country

These worksheets help the students to explore these environments and create their own physical map of India using everyday materials to help visualise the counties environments.
We all believe in something. It may be one thing; it may be lots of things. Some may be easier to believe than others, but this is down to each person’s opinion.

Using the legend surrounding the reported survival of the Russian princess, Anastasia, after the Russian Revolution of 1917, the students research the evidence behind the myth and assess them for their reliability. Discussions are also held regarding how we decide what we believe in.
