This is a timeline of artists, composers and writers from 1840 to 1903. One sheet contains information which needs to be plotted onto the timeline. Children could cut out the information boxes and stick them on, or could write the information onto their timeline. This timeline would be part of a unit of study on the arts in Victorian times during which children would examine art, listen to music and read books from the time. This worksheet is also available as part of a larger resource set.

This is a multiple choice quiz which I have given to my class at the end of our project on the Tudors and Stuarts to assess their understanding of the topic. It is not meant to be a very serious test, as you will see from some of the answer choices, but is a fun way to end the topic.

This is a timeline looking at major developments during the industrial revolution from 1750 to 1860. Children can cut out the information from the second sheet and stick them onto the timeline, or they can write the information on. You could adapt this by adding inventions and developments particularly relevant to your local area.

This is a simple sketch map of Roman Britain, showing the main roads, towns and forts. The children need to identify the numbered towns by their Roman names and their names in the present. I have used this with Key Stage 2 children as part of a history unit of study on The Romans. The second sheet provides the answers.

This is a multiple choice test based on work about the reign of Queen Victoria and the Industrial Revolution.

As part of a project on Ancient Egypt the children create an enlargement of this image of Tutankhamun. Number the back of the image in black and white to match the numbers on the coloured picture. Cut out 35 larger squares, (the size will depend on how big you want the final image to be). Give each child in the class a small piece of the image and ask them to recreate it to scale on the large square. The final picture can be painted or coloured. I have also tried a collage version using shiny paper. It makes a really good display in the class and the children enjoy collaborating to produce the final picture.

This is a multiple choice test covering exploration from St Brendan to Captain Cook.

This is a multiple choice test about invaders and settlers, focussing on Celts and Romans in Britain.

These two information sheets have varying amounts of detail about Victorian times. One is simpler for lower ability groups and the other is more demanding. There are follow-up questions and suggestions for further research.

I have used this resource as part of a study on Victorian times and the Industrial Revolution. It contains some information about lighting in the past with follow-up questions. The children are then encouraged to carry out their own research on this subject.

This is a simple powerpoint about the development of the telephone from Alexander Graham Bell's first phone to modern day mobiles. It was quite scary to find that I could remember so many that are now historical artefacts!

I created this test for my Year 6 class, following on from a six week period of history lessons, studying World War 2. The test is multiple choice and covers many different aspects of that period.

This is a reading comprehension activity based on the Elizabethan festival of Twelfth Night. I have used this as an activity to complete a unit of study on the Tudors which comes to a conclusion in December. It can also be used as part of a short historical project on Christmas and how it was celebrated in different historical periods.

This resource includes a powerpoint presentation, looking at some of the main artists, composers and writers from the Victorian period. There are suggested follow-up activities on the final page, as well as a timeline for the children to complete. I have used this with Year 5/6 children.

This resource includes a powerpoint, highlighting some of the main elements of the Victorian Christmas, three pages of information for children to read before answering the comprehension questions on the third document. I have created this resource for my Year 6 class as a final part of a series of history lessons in the Autumn term, leading up to Christmas.

This resource pack includes a powerpoint presentation, three pages of information about the British Empire, a map to be completed and a series of activities for the children to carry out, showing their understanding of the subject and linking it to the Commonwealth and modern trade practices.
