A medium term plan including the key learning expectations covered in History and Geography, ideas for continuous provision/enrichment and 11 in-depth lesson plans.

The information is presented clearly and is broken down into easily digestible chunks. The activities included: To order British periods of time chronologically. To order the main turning points of the Roman Empire in Britain. To create a zig-zag timeline. To understand the spread of the Roman Empire and identify the spread on a map. To create my own Roman shield. To create a model of a local Roman town: Venta Icenorum. To research an iconic Roman figure and create an information book about them. To design and make my own Roman mosaic. To mark Roman roads on a map of Britain. To create a model of a Roman road. HISTORY NATIONAL CURRICULUM STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS: Pupils should be taught about: • the Roman Empire and its impact on Britain. This could include: Julius Caesar’s attempted invasion in 55-54 BC, the Roman Empire by AD 42 and the power of its army, successful invasion by Claudius and conquest, including Hadrian’s Wall, British resistance, for example, Boudicca, ‘Romanisation’ of Britain: sites such as Caerwent and the impact of technology, culture and beliefs, including early Christianity. • Roman withdrawal from Britain in c. AD 410 and the fall of the Western Roman Empire. • a depth study linked to one of the British areas of study listed above • the legacy of Greek or Roman culture (art, architecture or literature) on later periods in British history, including the present day • Pupils should continue to develop a chronologically secure knowledge and understanding of British, local and world history, establishing clear narratives within and across the periods they study. • They should regularly address and sometimes devise historically valid questions about change, cause, similarity and difference, and significance. • They should understand how our knowledge of the past is constructed from a range of sources. GEOGRAPHY NATIONAL CURRICULUM STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS: Pupils should be taught to: • locate the world’s countries, using maps to focus on Europe • use maps, atlases, globes and digital/computer mapping to locate countries and describe features studied

A set of 13 timeline cards which children can order as part of an activity. Each card includes an iconic part of Roman history, alongside its date and an image. Worked brilliantly with my class when teaching Roman chronology. I then followed this activity by getting each child to make their own zig-zag timeline to illustrate what they’ve learnt.

A medium term plan including the key learning expectations covered in History and Geography, ideas for continuous provision/enrichment and 19 in-depth lesson plans. Links to resources are included. A knowledge organiser which is a summary of the key facts and essential knowledge that pupils need about a unit of work or a curriculum subject. The information is presented clearly and is broken down into easily digestible chunks. This series of lessons covers: • To demonstrate what I already know and want to know about Britain in the 1930’s and World War II To experience life as a child in 1930’s Britain To understand the importance of gas masks during World War II To make my own gas mask replica To understand the importance of National Identity cards during the war To learn about Operation Pied Piper To understand the importance of evacuation during World War II To find out about the experiences and feelings of evacuees To understand what WWII was and where, when and why it took place To understand how life changed for evacuees To understand the importance of Anderson shelters and to create a replica To learn about Land Girls and the role women had in the war To find out what rationing was, why it was necessary and how it impacted people’s lives To understand who was in charge during World War II To recognise the different planes used throughout World War II To understand what the Blitz was and which areas were most affected To understand the importance of propaganda posters To dance a war-time dance, The Lambeth Walk To understand why WWII ended and experience VE Day Throughout this series of lessons, the children will be in role as evacuees who have been evacuated from London to the countryside. Alongside the lessons, they will be documenting their experience in an evacuee diary. Throughout this term, children will be making anderson shelters, gas masks as well as cooking rations, writing (and posting!) letters home, making posters and celebrating victory in Europe with their very own VE day. By far, my favourite topic to teach and my class’s favourite topic to follow! Enjoy :)

This resource is a 16-page booklet which includes sections on: Market research Target audience Idea generation (flavours, textures shape, colours) Brand design (product name, logo, slogan, USP) Product packaging design Photos of product Evaluation with prompt questions During this project, children will be designing their own chocolate product from start to finish. After carrying out market research, they will choose their target audience. They will then generate many ideas before finalising a brand name, logo, slogan, product and USP (unique selling point.) With this in mind, they will then create a final design for their product’s packaging. Once the product has been created (and tasted!) they will complete an evaluation of it. Every class I have completed this project with have absolutely loved it and always talk about it for many years following! National Curriculum D&T links: Design use research and develop design criteria to inform the design of innovative, functional, appealing products that are fit for purpose, aimed at particular individuals or groups generate, develop, model and communicate their ideas through discussion, annotated sketches, cross-sectional and exploded diagrams, prototypes, pattern pieces and computer-aided design Make select from and use a wider range of materials and components, including construction materials, textiles and ingredients, according to their functional properties and aesthetic qualities Evaluate investigate and analyse a range of existing products evaluate their ideas and products against their own design criteria and consider the views of others to improve their work I completed this project whilst also teaching about the Mayans in geography/history.

Ancient Egypt Knowledge Organiser

My class absolutely loved making this! After learning about Henry VIII and his six wives during our Tudors topic, the children created an ‘information circle’ for each wive which can then be folded and stuck back to back to create an information text brilliant for wall displays! My PDF file here includes an image of my completed one and then the templates of the 7 circles needed and Henry VIII’s upper body. Enjoy! :)
