A quirky themed worksheet which could be used for a variety of lessons. Based on the nautical origins of the 'Thunderbox' toilet. Especially of use for topics on euphemisms, World War II, undersea exploration, biology lessons on digestion and bowels (why we fart), and to demonstrate the important role that engineers have in preventing loss of lives.

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 collection of photos from the Stalin Museum in Gori, when I lived in Georgia. The collection includes photos from the house where he was born in Gori, his train carriage, some gifts, death mask, uniform, portraits, and a photo with Winston Churchill.

This is a hand written resource that I created for my class in the former Soviet Republic of Georgia, so they could raise funds for an expedition they were planning. The theme was the 'Romans' and would help them to work in groups to organise the fundraising events and to raise the budget they needed for their school trip. There are 19 fundraising activities for students, some simple, some requiring a bit more input. Please note that there are some references to our local currency (GEL) and a couple of people or places that we had connections with, but you could easily substitute these for your local currency, people, or places.
