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 colouring page that I created for my class when we were learning about World War Two. I drew this after visiting the 'Odeon' concrete bunker on the British Channel Island of Alderney'.
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". (Wikipedia)

A collection of resources that could be used as part of an oceans and seas of the world topic for KS1 students. Includes the UK, oceans and seas around the world, and waves.
A collection of food themed resources that can be used as part of a KS1 unit on changes within living memory.
Includes food origins, seasonal foods, treats, WW2 rationing, cooking, recipes, and shopping.
A geography colouring page that can be used as part of a lesson about settlements and cities. This page is a city called Tbilisi, in the former Soviet Republic of Georgia where I used to live and work on educational reform projects in schools. Tbilisi gets its name after the hot pools: 'tbili' means 'hot' in Georgian language. The city was founded when the King was out hunting. and it is said that the pheasant he shot down fell and landed in the boiling spring waters, so it was cooked when he found it. You can sometimes feel tremors from earthquakes and the country has one of the oldest languages in the world and strong orthodox Christian roots.

A collection of photos and hand drawn colouring pages of the World War Two bunkers on the British Channel Island of Alderney, which was evacuated and became the base for four prisoner of war camps, and a large fortified wall. Photos are taken at Bibette Head and across the island, including the Anti Aircraft bunker known as ‘The Odeon’. I made a video of the bunkers (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VsXKBVzIBWo), and run free virtual field trips of the bunkers for schools through Skype in the Classroom. You might also enjoy my bunker colouring pages here on the TES.
The bundle would also be relevant for discussions about materials such as concrete and metal, sea water corrosion of metal, architecture and design, engineering, and the human impacts of the war. The local children were evacuated first, and Jewish labourers were brought to the camps. Today on the island you will find older generations and families where the labourers married the soldiers and the soldiers remained after the war to help clear up the 30,000 or more land mines. Why was the island part of Hitler’s Atlantic Wall? Was there a strategy in place? How was the concrete brought to the island by ship? How did they use concrete to camouflage the bunkers to look like rocks? Why did the soldiers take wood from the houses to burn?
A collection of photos of World Water Two German bunkers on the British Channel Island of Alderney and other related photos. These bunkers are made from concrete and were built by the prisoners of war, using designs from an engineer's handbook. My students have used the photos in their projects and presentations about World War Two. I hope you will find them of use to your class too.
