A set of linked resources and activities to help students improve their knowledge and understanding of a range of Black British Firsts. These resources are designed specifically to help with developing an awareness of the contribution of Black Britons -from the 16th century to the modern day. There are two activities which involve matching people to their achievement -ideal for use as a challenge that covers knowledge in a different way to a conventional worksheet. The first is a set of printable ‘cards’ which can be used for sorting or matching tasks (such as the matching pairs game) – each event is on a separate ‘card’ from its date, organised in sets of 10 -there are two sets, but each can be used separately or the two combined to increase the difficulty level. The second is a set of ‘domino cards’ to provide a more supported matching challenge; these feature the same events and each ‘card’ links to another forming a ‘domino’ like chain (which again can be used as a set of 10 or both combined for greater challenge). This features some of the range of 50 Black British firsts in our power point resource, from the first Black MPs to the first British Ladies footballer via No1. Pop artist and police officers. An ideal resource to support Black History Month but also useful at any time-especially as a resource for tutor or assembly time.

A more challenging version of the always popular activity (even for adults!) There are 3 different word searches on a selection of the fifty Black British Firsts featured on our power point resource. They range from the first Black MPs to the first British Ladies footballer via No1. Pop artist and police officers. Each comes in a range of versions to provide differing degrees of challenge: each wordsearch has a grid and 10 names to find – the same names so that all students are covering the same people whatever the level of support/challenge. In each set the first version is a ‘traditional’ one with the words provided. Then there are four versions with a quiz: this has the same words to find but they aren’t provided -first you need to use the clues (questions) to work out what word you are searching for. One just has the clues then there are three supported versions (each of the four has the same clues): the first has the first letter of the answer; the second has the number of numbers in the answer and the third has both the first letter and number of letters. Ideal for use in a wide range of settings such as a last-minute cover resource or homework task or providing resources for ‘school at home’ (maybe even for a staff challenge!)

A more challenging version of the always popular activity. There are 3 different word searches on Britain in the 20th century. Each comes in a range of versions to provide differing degrees of challenge: each wordsearch has a grid and 10 terms or places to find – the same answers so that all students are covering the same places and terms whatever the level of support/challenge. In each set the first version is a ‘traditional’ one with the words provided. Then there are four versions with a quiz: this has the same words to find but they aren’t provided -first you need to use the clues (questions) to work out what word you are searching for. One just has the clues then there are three supported versions (each of the four has the same clues): the first has the first letter of the answer; the second has the number of numbers in the answer and the third has both the first letter and number of letters. This provides students with the opportunity to develop their knowledge of a range of places/peoples/terms etc relating to 20th century Britain whilst providing varying degrees of challenge/support. They are suitable for use in class -both as a main activity and as an extension task- as well as for homework / independent study or a cover lesson activity or as a resource for ‘school at home (maybe even as staff challenge!) The places/terms covered are: Abdication abolition Assemblies Beveridge Channel decimal education Elizabeth Ireland Jarrow motorway insurance Lottery Parliament pensions Rationing television Titanic vote welfare state Churchill Conservative Democratic Diana Edward fourteen Labour Liberal Scotland Thatcher

366 events/people from the history of the continent-from the first Chinese Emperor to ISIS. This is a resource to support learning about Asian history throughout the year. There is a power point presentation on which every day has its own slide with the featured event or person from the history of Asia (including the Middle East). There is also a word document with the same information on. There is a wide range of events/people including the well-known such as Gandhi and Malala Yousafzai; there are also less famous ones such as Kenjiro Takayanagi and the Battle of San Juan del Monte. Similarly we have tried to include every nation on the continent so it literally covers Afghanistan to Vietnam. (This is a companion resource to our other ‘Years of’ so we have tried to avoid duplicates but this has not always been possible)

A collection of resources that help illustrate the significant role that Imperial forces played in WW2 -did you know that over 2m Indian troops served? There is a word document with some basic information about the main contributors to the Imperial forces -used as the basis for the worksheet. There is a power point with the same information , including a map slide linked to a set of brief information slides -one about each major participant. A worksheet looks at where Imperial soldiers fought and the casualties they suffered. There is also a wordsearch featuring some of the nations that supplied troops to the Allied war effort, as well as some major campaigns. Gives a brief indication of the role of forces from: Australia, Canada, India, New Zealand, South Africa, East Africa, West Africa, West Indies. Ideal for study of the British Empire as well as ‘Black History’ -this is a companion to our resource on Imperial soldiers in WW1

Since the end of WW1 the world has never been fully at peace. This resource is ideal for use at this time of remembrance (whilst also extending horizons to look at the wider world) This resource shows in visual form how the past 100+ years have still been a period of ongoing conflict (despite hopes that WW1 would be the ‘war to end all wars’). There is a selection of 50 different conflicts; a range covering civil wars, invasions and multi-national wars. The emphasis is on the post WW2 period to help support citizenship learning-in particular through helping show why there are so many refugees given the recent and on-going conflicts. (The emphasis is on the global community so wars such as the Falklands which was ‘just’ UK v an opponent are not included in this resource). In the main presentation each slide represents one year (running through takes just over 5 minutes) with each year showing the selected conflicts taking place in that year (so some slides are rather crowded!). For each conflict the dates are given as well as one sentence about it (this only appears when the conflict begins). There is also a power point presentation of 50 slides -one per conflict- as well as a word document with the same information. Finally there is a set of three word searches featuring most of the nations involved in the featured conflicts.

This free resource is taken from a collection of resources that illustrate the role that Imperial forces played in WW1 -did you know that over 1m Indian troops served? The wordsearch features fifteen of the nations that supplied troops and labourers to the Allied war effort. In the full collection there is also a power point with a map slide showing the main contributors to the Imperial forces with each linked to a brief information slide; this information is also provided in a word document. A worksheet looks at where Imperial soldiers fought and how many there were from around the globe. Ideal for study of the British Empire as well as ‘Black History’

A more challenging version of the always popular activity. There are 3 different word searches on Britain’s international relations in the 20th century. Each comes in a range of versions to provide differing degrees of challenge: each wordsearch has a grid and 10 terms or places to find – the same answers so that all students are covering the same places and terms whatever the level of support/challenge. In each set the first version is a ‘traditional’ one with the words provided.

The places/terms covered are: Abyssinia Appeasement Blitz Boer War Cold War Conscription Depression deterrent Dominions Dreadnought Dunkirk Empire Entente Europe Falklands Gallipoli Gulf War Hong Kong Independence India Israel Jamaica Jutland Kenya Marne NATO Pakistan Security Somme Suez crisis

A selection of 50 people who were the first in an occupation or to achieve a specific goal, ranging from the first Black MPs to the first British Ladies footballer via No1. Pop artist and police officers. An ideal resource to support Black History Month but also useful at any time-especially as a resource for tutor or assembly time. A power point presentation with one slide per person and their achievement (also in a ‘run through’ version that plays automatically); One of a set of linked resources featuring the same people.

A set of linked resources and activities to help develop knowledge of Britain before the Roman conquest. There is a power point with a map showing a number of Celtic/Iron Age tribes in England, Wales and Southern Scotland: Atrebates, Brigantes, Corieltauvi, Cornovii, Dumnonii, Durotriges, Iceni, Novantae, Ordovices, Regnenses, Silures, Votadini (selected in part to give a wide geographical on the map). As this is just a selection of the multitude of tribes it allows for an extra activity/challenge of students deciding who else should be included/who could be left out? There are also slides to print out with the names missing (or just the first letter provided) for students to complete (the list is contained in the word document). The word document lists the tribes with their approximate modern day areas and has three separate activities. The first is a set of printable ‘cards’ with the name of the tribe and its approximate modern day area for the tribes on the map – they can be used for matching pairs etc. Second is similar but set out as a set of dominoes to allow for greater variety. Thirdly is a set of two word searches covering most of the names of the featured tribes and the main modern day areas. Together the set provides a range of ways of developing knowledge of Pre-Roman Britain and most activities are suitable for homework or adapted for ‘school at home’.

A set of linked resources and activities to help develop knowledge of the Romanisation of Britain. In part this takes a cross-curricular approach through geographical place locations. There is an information power point with a map showing a number of Roman settlements in England and Wales as well as Hadrian’s and the Antonine Walls. The settlements are: Aquae Sulis, Arbeia, Camulodunum, Deva, Dubris, Eboracum, Isca, Isca Dumnoniorum, Londinium, Lindun, Luguvalium, Noviomagus Regnensium, Verulamium. It also shows the ‘modern’ names of each settlement. The main activity is to complete an outline version of the information map. This comes in different versions: One has the locations of the settlements but is otherwise blank for the students to write in the names. The second has the first letter of the settlement. The third has the first letter and the ‘modern’ name. The fourth has the name of the Roman settlement for them to add the ‘modern’ names. The word document lists the settlements and has three separate activities. The first is a set of printable ‘cards’ with the Roman and modern names of the settlements from the map – they can be used for matching pairs etc. Second is similar but set out as a set of dominoes to allow for greater variety. Thirdly is a set of two word searches covering most of the names of the featured settlements. (not Chichester as Noviomagus Regnensium is too long to fit!!) Together the set provides a range of ways of developing knowledge of Roman Britain and are all well suited for homework or adapted for ‘school at home’.

Word search and mini quiz combined A set of word searches to help develop knowledge of migration to the British Isles –both individuals born abroad and nationalities that have provided many migrants to Britain over the centuries. Has twenty of each of a range of individuals and nationalities. There is a set of four different word searches – two on individuals, two on nationalities. In each set the first version is a ‘traditional’ one with the words provided. Then there are four versions with a quiz: this has the same words to find but they aren’t provided -first you need to use the clues (questions) to work out what word you are searching for. One just has the clues then there are three supported versions (each of the four has the same clues): the first has the first letter of the answer; the second has the number of numbers in the answer and the third has both the first letter and number of letters. This provides students with the opportunity to develop their knowledge of a range of individuals or groups who were born abroad / moved to Britain whilst providing varying degrees of challenge/support. They are suitable for use in class -both as a main activity and as an extension task- as well as for homework / independent study or a cover lesson activity or as a resource for ‘school at home (maybe even as staff challenge!) The four word-searches cover the following groups/individuals: Africans, Angles, Asians, Belgians, Chinese, Danes, Flemings, Germans, Huguenots, Indians Irish, Normans, Norwegians, Polish, Romans, Russians, Saxons, Somalians, Syrians, West Indians Prince Albert, Montague Burton, Joseph Conrad, Mo Farah, Lucian Freud, Alec Issigonis, Boris Johnson, Judith Kerr, Doreen Lawrence, Michael Marks Karl Marx, Freddie Mercury, Rupert Murdoch, Rita Ora, Shantra Patak, Prince Phillip, Cliff Richard, Salman Rushdie, Charles Saatchi, JRR Tolkien

366 events/people from the history of Wales-from pre-Roman times to the Modern day. This is a resource to support learning about Welsh history throughout the year There are two linked components -featuring the same events/people. On the power point presentation every day has its own slide with the featured person or events associated with Wales. In the word document each event/person has a page with a short pen sketch of c250-300 words. The people range from the famous such as Dylan Thomas to the less well known such as Frances Hoggan. Similarly the events cover a range from the rebellion of Owain Glyndwr to the first person to swim the Bristol Channel. (This is a companion resource to our other ‘Years of’ so we have tried to avoid duplicates but this has not always been possible) An informative resource especially suitable for use in assembly or tutor time.

A selection of information on a range of 40 people or events associated with Wales. There is a power point presentation with two slides for each person or event; one with a picture and the associated date(s); the second having a short pen sketch of c250-300 words. (The topics covered are largely a selection from our larger Welsh year resource): 30 people from Richard Burton to Llewelyn the Great via Gwendoline Davies and 10 events from the Newport Rising to S4C via Aberfan disaster.

Two examples from our selection of information on a range of 40 people or events associated with Wales. There is a power point presentation with some information on each person/event. Please note these are taken from resources which have been provided as part of our Daily Tutor Time © subscription from 2012 to 2017.

A set of linked resources and activities to help students improve their knowledge and understanding of the chronology of British history. This is an important part of the History National Curriculum but one which often causes students difficulty. This is a sample of a selection from a range of these resources. These are taken from the resources focussed on KS2. These resources are designed specifically to help students in particular with the ordering of events. To help with understanding the passage of time there is a power point presentation that shows the intervals between events. This has a range of selected events and is designed to convey a sense of the passage of time by having the transition between slides vary in length depending on how many years actually passed between events. Each slide has a date, event and appropriate illustration. (Each event slide is on show for five seconds and the whole presentation lasts for approximately five minutes). As a bonus there is also a ‘click through’ version of the slide show to enable the teacher to give additional information or discuss the event with students. The selection of events is not meant to be definitive for the study of that period (it’s a selection not a comprehensive timeline!) – this allows for an extra activity/challenge of students deciding what is missing/what could be left out. The same events are on a word document and to help with improving knowledge there are activities which involve matching events to dates etc. The first involves sorting set of five different events into the correct order – available on power point and word document. The second is a set of printable ‘cards’ which can be used for sorting or matching tasks (such as the matching pairs game) – each event is on a separate ‘card’ from its date (organised in sets of 10). The third is a set of ‘domino cards’ to provide a more supported matching challenge; each card has an event and a date that links to another event -so making a sequence of events. Topics available : Ancient Greece; Britain before the Romans; Roman Britain; Anglo-Saxon and Viking Britain; Periods in British history
