This is a project that can be used to assess student learning about Ancient Greece, and assess their research and design skills. Included is: A letter from the British Museum outlining the task for students to complete (fictional, made up by myself) A set of scaffolds including LA/MA questioning to assist in completing project A student created self, peer and teacher assessment criteria (basic, can be added to) A great fun project to get students thinking about how museums work, how to share information we have learnt in different ways, and bring a creative element into the learning of history.

This resource is an Active Inspire Flipchart - works with older versions of Active Inspire. This resource can be used as a prompt to start students thinking about the Greeks, and what the Greeks created that we still use today. Children are given the information on 9 different Greek inventions we still use today, and are then asked to prioritise each one. Which one is the most important to them? Why? It can generate a great discussion whilst teaching children a little about the Greeks. I used it as a one off during our Greeks Topic.

Great resource when learning about the Mayans. After a look at how Mayans communicated and how their number and writing system works, your class could try out this interesting activity, creating their own codices. They could write their name and a few sentences for a friend to decode.
