A ppt (including differentiated activity printouts) that gives an overview to where modern day Greece is located, the make up of the land and climate. It then includes major cities and reference points of ancient Greece. (All images/maps sourced via Google images) This is for KS 2 and has supported a Year 5 introduction to ancient Greece, alongside timeline lessons and more general introductions.

A ppt to support a lesson designed to show children how people inherit the throne in the UK and how disputes can arise. Written to support teaching about the Battle of Hastings, but could easily be adapted to support any UK dynasty Works best with an actual crown where the ‘Kings’ and next in line are asked to actually slump over and die and the crown is physically passed on to the next person - you can use the words in the scrolls as a ‘script’ and ask the future kings and queens to act them out. My class loved it! If I did it again I’d try and get hold of an orb and sceptre, too. There is a written gap-fill task included in the slides but, having delivered the lesson, I’d probably opt for some writing in role from the perspective of one of the possible future kings if I were to do it again. e.g The queen could be annoyed that females don’t automatically inherit the throne like her brothers, the youngest born could be weighing up his chances of ever becoming king)…

A ppt presentation that I have used to support a Tudor themed day as part of a fabulous finish to a learning journey. It could equally be adapted for a PSHE style lesson on recognising strengths and sense of identity, or an ice breaker activity for a new class. Includes printout of heraldic shield.

Five lesson ppt presentations meeting new NC objectives regarding forces (friction, air resistance, water resistance, Isaac Newton and transferring forces) Used with a year 5 class, NB we had also done a lot of work on gravity when we covered space the previous term - the Newton lesson was a recap of that, the transferring forces lesson is also Tudor themed, but easily adaptable)
