It takes a fun look at the history of the business card, and why people, including explorers need a business card. This activity is centred around a video of Sarah (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BZ5e_LP0xxE), followed by a cross curricular activity where students should design and make their own business card, practice their social etiquette, and learn more about the importance of the card and it's etiquette in different cultures to their own.

A collection of photos taken in and around 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'.
