A lesson designed to take students through the causes and events of the Falklands Conflict and end with a developed paragraph discussing the factors behind the British victory. There is enough content here to easily stretch across 2 (if not 3!) lessons. It has also been successfully taught to KS2 and 4 - but also to Sea Cadet groups across the UK. It is a topic that is rarely taught in schools - but one that is fascinating and gets students engaged. A useful lesson for the end of term or as part of a wider study on Thatcher’s Britain and/or the Cold War. Lesson sequence as follows: Where is the Falklands? Guess the location. Why was it invaded? – Quiz Quiz Trade Thatcher’s response  Reading comprehension The task force  Match up task The taskforce  How would you structure it? The Belgrano  Right or wrong? The battle and landing events  Relay. Factors for success  Diamond 9 Pick a factor and turn it into a PEEKA paragraph.

COP28 $1bn to save the Earth - climate crisis challenge

A task to last a few lessons. Students to watch a video by the Economist on how 5 experts would spend $1bn to ‘save the oceans’ and then expand the task themselves to create a business plan for how to spend $qbn to save the earth. A template helps them structure their research and present their projects to the class. To tie in with Dubai COP28 but can be used at any time - of for any COP. I doubt they’ll agree to save the world anytime soon, so I imagine this lesson can be reused and recycled again and again :) Wolsey Academy, a non-profit resource provider, directs all profits to various charities, including refugee support, youth sports, educational programs, and carbon capture, achieving a carbon-negative status.
