A great starting point for AS revision. Print off on an A3 sheet. - Get pupils in pairs to describe the main events of the period in chronological order -Split class into teams add further details to the timeline in terms of themes of study, e.g. communist governments or industrial and agricultural changes. Works well if teams use different highlighters and colours representing the themes. Good for peer teaching and setting the scene.

A 45-60 minute summative assessment on the Norman Conquest of Britain and how he kept control. Includes: - Test sheet - Source sheet - Covers Castles, Domesday Book, Feudal System - Also tests interpretation skills - Some questions require a longer written answer to try and mirror exams later. These will also help to identify pupils who may be mastering the topic.

A detailed SOW that includes: - Lesson Objectives and outcomes - Key questions to use for lessons - Coherent sequence of lessons that build up to an assessment - Suggested activities to use in every lesson This is a SOW that will enable students to begin to grasp key changes and continuity in a period of British history. Great as a precursor to GCSE units.

An assembly that explores feelings and our inner voice. It looks at how pupils can focus on positive thoughts and there is a challenge at the end for some pupils to try over the course of the following week. There is also a link to an animation on Youtube.

An assembly that explores the physical and spiritual dimensions about identity, including references to religion.

A two page homework task that gets pupils to attempt a series of inference questions based on posters from WWI and WWII. This is good as an introductory homework which can then be followed up the next lesson with some self and peer marking.

An assembly about prayer and how different beliefs practice it. I have taken the angle of discussing similarities and differences and introduced the idea of atheist prayer (a thunk). There is a link to a clip from a Christian discussing why prayer is important to them. Notes and knowledge are included in the notes section of the slides. This could also be used as a presentation in a lesson.

A fully resourced review lesson on the Norman Conquest that helps pupils recall and reflect on castles, feudal system, Domesday Book and the Church. Activities are group and individual focused with a dice activity that gets pupils to think more deeply about the idea of control.

I developed these resources for a down syndrome pupil to help with inclusion in History lessons. - Activities matched the theme/topic everyone studied in History during yr8 - Easily adaptable for own school curriculum - Overview can be adapted for any pupil

A lesson developed through staff collaboration using Lesson Study. Look for the other similarly named lessons. - Fully resourced - Fun and interactive - Designed for all abilities (including SEN) - Pair/Group work focused ** In this lesson you will need the white Crime and Punishment Through Time textbook in order to use the excellent Roman city scene showing the punishments. If you can't get hold of this you will have to adapt one of the activities or create your own scene**

Though this is designed for History, it is adaptable for any KS4 and 5 subject. I found parents were really positive to have an A5 sheet to take away with key dates of the exams, links to revision websites/text and other information such as the specification.

An assembly about the dangers of fireworks and points to consider for children when watching and using them.

A lesson developed through staff collaboration using Lesson Study. Look for the other similarly named lessons. - Fully resourced - Fun and interactive - Designed for all abilities (including SEN) - Pair/Group work focused I delivered the lesson as follows: Starter: Inference Picture Task. Get pupils to try and suggest what may be happening in the picture (e.g. The White Cliffs of Dover suggests it’s in Britain etc) Main Tasks: Quick question video clip in which pupils watch the film and write down some basic answers. This is used to set the scene. Group Work: Get pupils into groups of 3. Prior to the lesson stick on one side of sugar/A3 paper the resources I have included (sources for invasion). Also pupils should read the 'Instruction sheet legionnaire' to gain an understanding of the task. Then give the pupils 15 minutes to plan. After this use the PP to bring up the scenario slides which may put a spanner in their planning. I do this every 5 minutes. Plenary/Consolidation: Pupils are to use the sentence starters to write an extended piece of writing about the invasion of Britain. Also, use the link to the BBC to see how accurate the pupils were in their exercises.

A lesson that looks at significance and, in particular, individuals who are deemed important. Pupils watch the first 10 minutes of the BBC YouTube documentary on Brunel (Greatest Britons) and then debate using resources why he is deemed significant. They rate him according to criteria and summarize their thoughts.
