History of Britain

By Chatty Zebra Curriculum Main Resource: The Usbourne History of Britain Pinterest Boards: The Chatty Zebra; British History Curriculum Board Worksheets: Twinkl, Teachers Pay Teachers, free printables from pinterest

The books recommended are a variety of ones I have found on Amazon and Pinterest (I personally have not yet had a chance to read each one); there are lots of other reference books on each subject which can be found on Amazon or in local children libraries.

This Curriculum can be followed at your own pace. We are planning to cover each topic over a month, however they vary in degree of subject matter covered and so will ultimately vary in length of time taken to cover each unit. The units have been ordered in a historic time line (or as close to as possible with the legends) however please feel free to cover them in your own order preference.
