Review: A very colourful and pupil-friendly site. A good place for KS2 teachers to start. The topics in the curriculum are all here. There are also some interactive activities and presentations. ( Beware these are not all History though) Some of the presentations, Vikings for example, are quite basic but really could save you quite a bit of time. You also need to pick from the good, the bad and the downright ugly in the PDF worksheets! Also quite strangely not all the resources are hyperlinked.

Can be used on p.c's, on white boards, and links ot other relevant sections in the BBC web site. Useful as a means of assessment or explanation, or as group learning activity.
