All about me bunting/flag - KS2 primary

(1)
This resource activity contains 2x all about me bunting and flag templates in PDF format for primary students to complete with details about themselves and to colour in and develop on the design to show their individual personalities. A perfect activity for back to school in class or as a set piece for homework. It would make a lovely display or a timecapsule piece for students to look back on at the end of their primary school career. The individual bunting triangles could be used to make a hanging display in your classroom (there is a flap across the top to fold over a string) and the flag design would make a lovely wall display. The resource is aimed at primary aged students - mainly upper KS2 students however it could be used with lower KS2 classes with a little more teacher guidance. This has been created as an independent student activity but it could equally work as a paired discussion activity with students interviewing one another and completing the flag on their peers behalf. Questions on the bunting include things such as, name, birthday, self portrait frame, favourite book and subjects. Please note this resource is an activity with templates and student instructions not for a full lesson powerpoint.

Defending a Castle

(5)
A well presented lesson on the defensive features of Medieval castles created for KS3 history students on Microsoft Powerpoint A little about the lesson Students are encouraged to design their own castle and its defences. Students are provided with a king-sized budget and challenged to research and to buy the latest medieval castle defences. Students must therefore consider effectiveness against budget. When considering castle defences students are challenged to use prior knowledge on the most effective and damaging methods of attack. This is a lesson that excites students and really engages them in their learning. Take it a step further and challenge groups to ‘duel off’ against each others castles. Whats included? A whole 1 hour lesson powerpoint is included (there are teacher notes also under some slides). Student worksheets/resources are included in hidden slides in the relevant points of the presentation and also as an additional Powerpoint for ease of printing. Homework, Learning Objectives and outcomes have also been completed in this resource, however, they can easily be tweaked to suit the needs and ability of your classes.

Mystery of the princes in the tower

Mystery of the princes in the tower

(2)
A well presented lesson on the Mystery of the Princes in the tower created for KS3 history students on Microsoft Powerpoint A little about the lesson Using primary and secondary source evidence, students work in pairs to investigate the mystery of the 2 princes in the tower using sources to decide who was the most likely murderer of the boys/ who had the most to gain from their disappearance. Or even if the boys were murdered at all?! This is a good introduction to the Tudors and learning about the character of Henry VII and the problems the Tudors faced with security to their throne. Alternatively, this is a more challenging lesson for students to practice their historical skills of source evidence on for a skills based lesson as students are guided to consider the provenance of a source in addition to its strengths and weaknesses when making decisions. Whats included? A whole 1 hour lesson powerpoint is included (there are teacher notes under most slides). Student worksheets/resources are included in hidden slides in the relevant points of the presentation and also as an additional Powerpoint for ease of printing.

The Battle of Hastings

(1)
A well presented lesson on the 1066 Battle of Hastings in the run up to the penultimate lesson of the Battle of Hastings created for KS3 history students on Microsoft Powerpoint A little about the lesson Students explore the Battle of Hastings between two of the contenders Harold Godwinson and Duke William of Normandy. Students uncover the sequence of events during the battle, they encounter a codebreaker task and look at some of the imagery of the Bayeux tapestry. Students consider advantages and disadvantages of each army throughout the lesson. Students then apply their learning to a written exam technique task. Students are guided into answering an exam style question (AQA 8 mark question) with scaffolded sentence and a mark scheme for self assessment to help them begin to understand the requirements for GCSE style questions from an early stage. This can easily be tweaked, however, to tailor the resource to your exam board. Whats included? A whole 1 hour lesson powerpoint is included (there are teacher notes also under some slides). Student worksheets/resources are included in hidden slides in the relevant points of the presentation and also as an additional Powerpoint for ease of printing. Homework, Learning Objectives and outcomes have also been completed in this resource, however, they can easily be tweaked to suit the needs and ability of your classes. It is very likely this lesson will take beyond an hour to complete depending on the ability of the class and how long is spent on each task.
