The discovery of the Ivory Bangle Lady is a great way to bring black British history into your history lessons. The Ivory Bangle Lady is important in developing an understanding of the diverse history and cultural heritage of Britain. The Ivory Bangle Lady’s remains were found in York and showed that she lived during Roman Britain. Recent DNA tests have shown that she had African heritage, which illustrates that people with African ancestry have been in Britain since the Romans came to Britain. She also had wealth which was evident in the jewellery and other expensive items that she was buried with. There are still a lot of unknowns which is perfect for a history lesson because there are opportunities for children to come up with their own ideas. The resources in this pack will get your children analysing 12 pieces of evidence, just like archaeologists, to sort the relevant evidence from the irrelevant, and to use the evidence to justify theories. They will ask their own question to investigate. With the help of research in the form of notes by two fictional archaeologists, they will answer questions and generate their own ideas about the Ivory Bangle Lady. Finally, they will summarise their knowledge by writing a museum plaque about the Ivory Bangle Lady. There are two levels of difficulty included, plus editable versions so you can adapt this to your students. There is also a worksheet on key vocabulary covered in the activities. This resource is suitable for KS2.

Pieter Bruegel the Elder’s painting of “Children’s Games” is one of the best primary sources I’ve come across that give us a little glimpse into the games children played in the past. The painting “Children’s Games” depicted life in the Netherlands in the 1560s. There are over 250 children playing 83 different games. With this activity, in pairs or small groups, children look at a corner of the painting and find the games on a list. They then identify if the game is still played nowadays, and they make guesses about how to play an unfamiliar game in the painting. It’s a fabulous way to bring history alive, with such a relatable topic, and it gets children using a primary source to gather and analyse information from the past.

Children often find it hard to remember the difference between area and perimeter, which affects their ability to do calculations correctly. So, the more memory aids we can use to help them, the more likely it is that they will remember the difference. With this activity, children color in the word “AREA” which covers the area of the rectangle, and they write the word “PERIMETER” around the perimeter of the rectangle. I’ve included a full page and half page option. You may also like an engaging, real-world activity like this one to practise area and perimeter. This resource is a free download for single-classroom use only. It can not be copied, shared, rewritten, amended, sold or distributed to others.
