Complete set of lessons and resource for the Norman England 2024 Historic Environment.
The lessons have been designed around the concept of change: However, these could be easily adapted if you believe the concept will be different.
E.g. Q4: ‘The main change brought about the conquest was the increased use of Normans to control areas of land.’
We teach these lessons stand alone before the control section so lessons give a small opportunity to teach the basics on these topics like castles etc.
Lesson 1 - Why did Wales present issues for the Normans?
Lesson 2 - How did William secure the Welsh border?
Lesson 3 - How did the Marcher Earls exploit Wales and challenge William?
Lesson 4 - How did the Marcher Earls use castle to subdue the Welsh?
Lesson 5 - How did towns grow in Wales due to the Marcher Earls?
Lesson 6 - Synoptic: What was the main change brought about by the Normans in Wales?
Knowledge Organiser Sheet
Each lesson starts with a retrieval grid which can be easily populated with questions from your topics.
ENVIRONMENT WHOLE CLASS ASSEMBLY
Included in this pack:
A short play
An original poem (PPT slides and a written version)
I’m An Eco-Warrior, Get Me Into There!
This is a play for a class of 30 children and is about four environmental issues: forests, rivers, ice caps and oceans. Each issue is represented in a game show by an Eco-Warrior. Each issue has a rap to perform and a group of Fact Finders. The Fact Finders each have a short paragraph of facts to say.
Every child has the chance to speak, either with scripted dialogue or through the rap. There are scripted dialogue lines for 22 children and the other children are involved in the raps. You could also add more presenters and share the dialogue out between them.
I have included the script as a word document so changes can be made to accommodate more or less speaking parts. Fact Finders can be added to by sharing the dialogue out more, or cut down by giving each Fact Finder more to say. Rappers can also be added to or cut down. One rapper from each environmental issue also has a single line of dialogue.
As well as the whole play I have included the Fact Finder scripts and raps separately for ease of chopping them up, so you don’t have to give everyone the full script.
Once Upon a Time There Was a Planet… is a 12 stanza non-rhyming poem about the affects we’re having on the environment. It’s presented as a 13 slide power point presentation, with powerful images. There is a written version included too.
The poem is ideal for individual, paired, group or whole class work and would make an excellent addition to your class assembly.
The first half illustrates how wonderful our planet is and the second half illustrates the devastating affect humans are having on the planet.
Habitats and Helping the Environment Assembly
Your class hosts a fun filled assembly that investigates a range of different habitats and the animals that live within them. Its based on the classic 80s/90s version of “Through The Keyhole” as you investigate “Who lives in a habitat like this?” (80s/90s kids will understand!) Then your class help the character “Silly Billy” be more environmentally friendly so he can help look after the planet.
Included is a script and PowerPoint for your fun filled assembly performance. I have performed this with a Year Four class and the children and parents have really enjoyed this performance. You will need a few props for your performance such as a collection of newspapers/magazines to go in a recycle bin/recycle bag.
