Education Resources

Historical character videos, activity cards for use as part of outdoor learning, map sets and themed powerpoint presentations are just some of the resources we have created to help schools use their local countryside in national curriculum work.

The resources listed on this page are available to all schools within and around the High Weald . If you have joined the High Weald Hero Partnership as a High Weald Hero School we will have supplied school-specific map sets and may also have worked with you to produce other school-specific educational material e.g. Welly Walks. You will find these resources on your school's page on this site.

Videos

The My High Weald and High Weald Hero actions videos provide an introduction to the area and the High Weald Hero actions for children.

Our historical character videos (see left for a taster) are suitable for Key Stage 2 children and cover aspects of the History programme of study (Curriculum 2000). These include:

1a - placing events, people and changes into correct periods of time
2a - learning about characteristic features of the periods and societies studied
4a - finding out about events, people & changes studied from appropriate range of sources (including ICT)
6 - Links to breadth of study are listed next to each character in the video library.

The videos can be downloaded from our video library.
