A collection of 15 ready made quizzes to use with your groups. Each quiz is split into 3 sections - General knowledge, Movies/famous faces and a single 'ave a go' random question. The answer slides are included in each quiz. I split my groups into teams and then have a leader board going through the term. I have included a template for you to make your own future quizzes. In the template is another section called 'in the news' which you can add questions about the previous weeks news. I obviously removed them from the ready made quizzes as now outdated. All of these are great for building group rapport, competition and of course having a giggle.

A great way to revise the key events and features of the Norman Conquest. There is a pupil revision sheet which you need to expand to A3 that holds all the information they need to complete the tasks. There is a link (on note section of PP) to a website with the documentary for completing part of the lesson. The lesson covers the main events of 1066 (including the Battle of Hastings) and ways William controlled the English. Good as the first lesson on revision to help them get an overview of the chronology of the period.

References to the Mars One programme is also included. Would suit all ages as can be adapted and requires interaction with the children in the audience through questioning.

An assembly that looks at the importance of communication skills and how employers value it. Also includes ways pupils can improve their skills through lessons and a challenge for them to complete over the following week. I have included a snap shot of an inspirational story with a video link but this can easily be left out and discussed instead. Finally there are references to growth mindset throughout.

A generic double lesson that could be used in a variety of subjects as an introduction to aspects of leadership. The lesson is based around ideas of pupils and then looking at 3 case studies - Abraham Lincoln, Karen Brady and Alex Ferguson. After looking at summaries of their life stories, pupils can debate similarities and differences in their experiences, turning points and other interesting observations. Certainly creates debates in the classroom! I have used this as an introduction to Jesus and also for a Growth Mindset themed day in school.
