Some resources I have used for guided reading activities, linking to our WWI topic.

Some resources I used to help children with learning the vocabulary associated with our new topic about the First World War. The flash cards can be printed back to back, or separately then matched up. This works well in a small group and could also be used to play memory games with. Worksheets included where children need to cut out all key words and definitions then match up, this one is a good guided reading activity. Answers included.

This is a PPT I created a couple of years ago, which gives an introduction and some basic info about what Shrovetide is (a game played in Ashbourne, Derbyshire). I used this with a year 2 class, this could easily be used or adapted for use with another age group. A brief history of the game and a timeline of historical events happening at Ashbourne. A blank timeline at the end which could be used for ordering the events and discussion.
