A colouring page I created for my students as part of our virtual field trip of Alderney in the British Channel Islands and the German World War Two bunkers. "German WW2 bunker 'The Odeon' in Alderney. This is about 3 or 4 storeys high and has an anti-aircraft emplacement at the back. Alderney is said to have been the most heavily fortified of the Channel Islands. At one time the allies contemplated landing there as a rehearsal for D-Day".

A colouring page I created for my students as part of our module on coastal erosion and also used for a lesson on World War Two. Based on the 'hanging rock' on the British Channel Island of Alderney at Longis beach. "Longis is a settlement in the south-east of Alderney in the Channel Islands, with a beach, island fort, nature reserve, and remains of German, Roman and prehistoric occupation. Longis nature reserve is the largest nature reserve on the island, with an area of 103 hectares. Longis Bay Beach is a popular tourist spot. It has an anti-tank wall from the Second World War. This massive, concrete structure curves right around the bay above the high-water mark and was built by the Germans during the Occupation of the early 1940s. There is provision for an anti-tank gun in the middle of its length (long since removed). For many years it was believed that Alderney's main harbour was located within Longis Bay (as opposed to Braye). A line of boulders was said to point to evidence of a Roman breakwater. Raz Island, on the Eastern arm of the bay, is connected to the rest of Alderney by a causeway, concreted over by the Germans during the Second World War. It is almost entirely covered by a fort which in recent decades has been used as a house, tea rooms, and as a base for an oyster farm. Longis has a standing Roman dwelling of significant archaeological importance. Until relatively recently its origin and purpose remained a mystery, the local population referring to it as the 'Nunnery". It has recently been partly excavated. It is pre-dated by find evidence of megalithic or early stone age occupation sites within the Longis Common area. On the high ground overlooking the western side of the bay stands Essex Castle and the Hanging Rock. A legend says that the reason Hanging Rock overhangs is that the French wanted Alderney so much they tried to tow the island to France by attaching ropes to it, but only succeeded in pulling this large rock out of the ground".

A resource I created for students who want to understand more about the world. A PDF file, that covers: - THE SCIENTIFIC EXPLANATION of why the sea is salty (references to Isaac Newton, Christopher Wren, King of England, and Edmond Halley's 'continental weathering' theory. We then look at how the question was finally answered in 1979 during an expedition to the black smokers and hydrothermal vents on the Pacific Ocean floor). - THE FOLKLORE EXPLANATION of why the sea is salty (references to the Vikings, Norse Mythology, Grotti's Song, the Orkney Islands of Scotland and North Atlantic Ocean, and the story of the ants and the friendly giant from the Philippines). - Suggestions for follow up activities The file could be broken into sections as a longer topic or workbook, or given as a stand alone project or introduction to a new topic. There are multiple elements that cross over for topics on Vikings, oceans, exploration, biology, geography, slavery, storytelling , folklore, cultural diversity, and as inspiration and scientists who overcame adversity. May be suitable for gifted younger learners, or for secondary school students, STEM clubs, or students with English as a foreign language.

In folklore the Krampus (half devil, half goat) would roam the streets on the eve of the 5th December looking for naughty children to punish. Sometimes he would carry a pile of birch twigs to beat them too. He might travel on is own, or with St Nicholas who had his own Feast and festival on the 6th December where good children were celebrated. Krampusnacht is still celebrated in some European countries today. Print out and colour in this sheet to explore Christmas and Christmas traditions around the world.
