THIS WALL CHART IS ABOUT RELIGION, AND ACCORDING TO THE BLURB ON THE WEBSITE THIS COMPANY ARE THE LEADING SUPPLIERS TO SECONDARY SCHOOLS AND WORK AS PART OF THE CURRICULUM. THIS MEANS THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO BE ACCESSIBLE TO AGES BETWEEN 11& 16.

FOR THIS A1 POSTER THEY CHARGE £5.50.

THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL WALL CHART WHICH IS ACTUALLY IN A BOOK. IT IS £20.00 AND IS CALLED 'THE WALL CHART OF WORLD HISTORY' . THIS IS SUCH A CONTRAST TO THE OTHER TWO EXAMPLES, AND THE STRANGE THING IS BECAUSE IT IS ACTUALLY NICE TO LOOK AT! IT IS ENGAGING AND INTERESTING WITHOUT BEING OVERLY SIMPLIFIED OR TOO COMPLICATED. BECAUSE OF THE ILLUSTRATIONS THIS COULD APEAL TO YOUNGER CHILDREN AS WELL AS ADULTS..

MY WALL CHARTS ARE AIMED TOWARDS KEY STAGE TWO AGED CHILDREN WHO WOULD BE BETWEEN THE AGES OF SEVEN AND ELEVEN. THIS COVERS YEARS 3,4,5AND6 IN PRIMARY SCHOOL.

Key Stage 3	Years 7-9	11-14
Key Stage 4	Years 10-11	14-16

THIS LINK IS FROM THE BBC WEBSITE AND IT IS HISTORY FOR KEY STAGE TWO. THIS IS A SECTION ABOUT ANGLE SAXONS AND GIVES AN IDEA AS TO THE LEVEL OF UNDERSTANDING THERE IS. I THINK MINE FIT PERFECTLY INTO THIS CATERGORY, BECAUSE THERE IS A COMBINATION OF PICTURES AND WORDS AS WELL AS VARYING LEVELS OF INFORMATION RANGING FROM VERY SIMPLE TO MORE COMPLEX.

THESE ARE SOME SCREEN SHOTS FROM THE BBC WEBSITES. I FIND THE IMAGERY BLAND AND PREDICTABLE AND THE BITS WITH THE WRITING ARE UN-ENGAGING. IT IS INTERESTING WHEN YOU READ THE FACTS, BUT I'M NOT SURE HOW MUCH A SEVEN YEAR OLD WOULD FEEL INSPIRED BY IT...






AT KEY STAGE TWO PUPILS CURRENTLY LEARN ABOUT ROMANS, ANGLE SAXONS AND VIKINGS AND THEY HAVE TO HAVE A KNOWLEDGE OF EVENTS AND THEIR CHRONOLOGY AS WELL AS THE BELIEFS, PAST TIMES, OCCUPATIONS OF MEN, WOMEN AND CHILDREN.

THIS IS AN EXCELLENT WEBSITE WITH HISTORY FOR KEY STAGE 2 CHILDREN. IT IS REALLY FUN AND INTERACTIVE, BUT ALSO HAS A SLIGHTLY MORE ADVANCED LEVEL OF HUMOUR TO IT THAT MAKES IT MORE INTERESTING THAN THE BBC. ALSO, THE ACTUAL LOOK OF IT IS REALLY GOOD WITH THE CHARACTERS BEING LESS BLAND THAN THE BBC.

THIS IS THE MUSEUM OF LONDON'S INTERACTIVE HISTORY WEBSITE FOR KEY STAGE TWO AGE CHILDREN. IT IS INFORMATIVE AND INTERESTING, WHILE PROVIDING ALL THE INFORMATION ABOUT THE OBJECT. IT ALSO PUTS IT IN TO CONTEXT OF THE TIME.
