Story of the real Robinson Crusoe

This PowerPoint tells the story of Alexander Selkirk, the ‘real’ Robinson Crusoe! Perfect for assemblies and story times - this fascinating tale charts the real adventures of a sailor left marooned on an uninhabited island for over 4 years.

During the course of the story, the children learn much about the key features and dangers of Selkirk’s island - and how he survived during his time there.

At the end of the lesson/story/assembly - you are invited to challenge the children to create their own map of the island.

A printable template and a series of instructions and illustrated slides will guide the children through the process, providing them with creative ideas and facts to include on their maps.

A fun, creative one-off lesson for children across KS2.
