A set of activities/worksheets to compare and contrast weather and climate in Italy, Poland and the UK. This involves interpretation of graphs and charts, some statistical work comparing data, as well as general geographical comparison and inquiry. There are two sheets that compare Rome/UK, which would also fit into a topic on the Romans.

How do we know about the Bronze Age if there are no written records? This presentation introduces the Must Farm Bronze Age discoveries, and the basic archaeology used to find artefacts from the past. Ideally suited to Year3/4, this could also be adapted for UKS2. Would also fit into a local study on East Anglia/the fens.

A lesson looking at adding fractions and unit fractions, linked to the Egyptians. Originally this was used in a mixed Y5/6 class to explore the concept of unit fractions, and adding fractions. This includes a presentation, lesson plan and the worksheet used during this lesson. I have also included the fraction wall I used to support pupils. These can be cut up to help children understand the concept of adding unit fractions.

This is a lesson used to explore the question, “Why did Rome become the capital of the Empire?” It has links both to geography and history, and would be ideally suited to a topic on the Romans or on Italy the country. Originally I used this in KS2. The main skills focus is on exploring how the physical features of a place affect human activity and economic growth.

A powerpoint introducing the Bronze Age and an accompanying set of differentiated activity sheets. Ideally suited to LKS2 but could be used across the primary age range.

A PowerPoint and associated activities used during an “Our World” topic to introduce the concept of coastal, rural and urban.

My complete set of “mindful moments” worksheets. Includes activities based on gratitude, kindness, being positive and managing worries. Could be used in any age range, but originally used in KS2.

Originally used with Y4/5, this is a lesson prompt and two worksheets asking children to use a range of geographical images to describe a place. The prompt sheet contains photos of places, wildlife and maps from various places in South America.

A week of English activities linked to describing WW2 evacuees. This unit of work was designed for a group of children working significantly below KS2 standards, so that they were able to successfully access work on the same topic as their peers. Originally this was used in KS2, but this could also be relevant to SEND pupils in KS3. An overview of the week is provided, as well as activities to complete.

A simple worksheet to encourage children to ask questions about historical sources. Contains pictures of three artefacts/pictures from the Stone Age, and questions about them. Have used with Year 3 but would also be suitable for KS2 or lower KS3.

A worksheet created to introduce the topic of the Romans in KS2. This asks children to look at several artefacts discovered in the UK and suggest what they might be. Encourages inference and deduction skills. Would be a useful replacement for classrooms where actual Roman artefacts are not accessible.

A powerpoint and worksheet used as part of a topic on Italy/Romans, looking at the links between food, farming and climate. Children are asked to explore what the popular foods in Italy tell us about agriculture and climate. Originally used in Year 4, but could be used with slightly older or younger children.

A powerpoint and lesson activity exploring changes during the Stone Age period. This encourages children to explore the introduction of farming, and the wider impact this had on developing communities. Ideally suited to KS2.

Included are five sets of cards, each describing a different country (Poland, Finland, Cuba, France and Romania) Each set contains facts about the human and physical geography of each country, as well as photos of a variety of locations. I use this as a starting activity to get children thinking about different countries around the world. They need to use their existing knowledge and atlases to identify the country.
