A unit of work (11 lessons) that focuses on the Battle of Britain. It begins by building up to World War 2, looking at the advancement of technology and the build up to war.

It is all rounded up by a quiz at the end for a bit of fun and to see what children can remember.
Included is everything needed to run the lessons including the planning, slide show and differentiated resources.
It is written with 5/6 in mind but can easily be adapted.

A lesson that focuses on the human geography of Spain, including looking at population trends, average life expectancy and land use. All the resources that are needed to run the lesson are here including differentiated worksheets, the presentation and maps that can be used if you don't have access to atlases etc.
The ninth in a sequence of twelve lessons that focuses on the threats to the rainforests. Included is the unit plan, a KWL sheet that can be used to check and develop understanding, the lesson presentation which includes pink and green bubbles to support and challenge and activities required for the lesson as well as a fact file.
Twelve lessons that focus on the rainforests in different ways, sequencing out and ensuring recap of knowledge. Included is the unit plan, a KWL sheet that can be used to check and develop understanding, the lesson presentations which includes pink and green bubbles to support and challenge and activities required for the lessons as well as a fact file.
Both assessments are uploaded separately but have been uploaded together for ease where people want both.
History and Geography assessment grids from Year 1 to 6 that can be used to check children's understanding and use as a progress measure if wished. These are to be used as best fit as there may be some areas they are weaker/ more confident in with the aim being a best fit judgement.
I created these as there appears to be a gap in both history and geography assessment at the minute in primary schools since the move to assessment without levels. This enables schools to have something in place for a foundation subject that links well to other curricular areas, as well as showing an assessment system should visitors wish to know how you monitor progress.
A reading comprehension based on an extract from the National Geographic website on rainforests. Included is the text which is then surrounded by questions around the outside that link to the text. Answers are also included on a separate document.
An activity that requires children to find some of the European countries involved in the First World War. There are two sets of differentiated maps, with a set of blank maps of 1914 Europe and a set of blank maps of modern day Europe. Also included is a labelled map of 1914 Europe to support children. This is a useful activity for beginning to look at the First World War as it gives children the opportunity to explore countries involved and consider the proximity to one another whilst providing the chance to see how much the European map has changed in the past 100 years.
A ten part series of lessons that focus on many of the elements of the locational knowledge aspects for the KS2 Geography curriculum. The series of lessons focuses predominantly on children being able to use maps to find countries and cities in different continents as well as a brief focus on time zones and globalisation. All of the resources needed to run the lesson are included with worksheets, any potential example maps required (in case atlases are unavailable) the presentation and unit of work plan.
A three/four lesson enquiry on earthquakes that looks to answer two questions, as well as providing the opportunity to work through two case studies of earthquakes.
The information and activities are provided within one document that can be printed as a booklet to then work through. This includes key vocabulary, key information and diagrams alongside activities that get pupils to think about and use their learning in different ways, as well as time to answer the two main questions.
Also included is a PowerPoint presentation that can be used alongside the information sheets. This includes everything that can be found in the information sheets, alongside extra written text and instructions within the notes sections.
Both documents have been uploaded as PowerPoints so they can be easily adapted, with these lessons easily adaptable across a range of ages.
