The Tudors for kids KS2

The Tudors for kids KS2 learning at Primary School. Homework help on the history of the Tudors, Tudor Britain and Henry VIII.

Time: 1485AD - 1603AD

Who were the Tudors?

The Tudors are one of the most famous families ever to rule England. They were in power from 1485 when Henry Tudor was crowned King Henry VII, until the time Queen Elizabeth I died, without an heir, in 1603. The Tudors were some of the most colourful people in history.

Tudor Kings and Queens

There were six Tudor Kings and Queens.

• Henry VII - 1485-1509
• Henry VIII - 1509-1547
• Edward VI - 1547-1553
• Jane Grey - July 1553
• Mary I - 1553-1558
• Elizabeth I - 1558-1603

Horrible Histories - Terrible Tudors

He had six wives:

• Catherine of Aragon - Catherine had a daughter with Henry, but no son so Henry divorced her.
• Anne Boleyn - Anne had a daughter (who would be Queen Elizabeth I) with Henry, but Henry turned against his wife and had her head chopped off.
• Jane Seymour - They had a son, Edward (who was the next King) but she died two weeks after he was born.
• Anne of Cleves - Henry divorced Anne after only six months.
• Catherine Howard - Catherine was only 19 when they married. Henry had her head chopped off.
• Katherine Parr - She looked after Henry's children.

Elizabeth I

Elizabeth had a quick temper and liked to get her own way. She liked to live in fine palaces in London and it was an exciting time when she ruled. There were a lot of new discoveries during her time and many English explorers sailed off to find new lands.

Unlike Henry VIII, Elizabeth I never married and as she grew older people wondered who would be next Tudor to take over. So when she died on 24th March 1603, the Tudor period ended and the next in line to the throne was James VI of Scotland who became King and started the Stuarts period.

Tudor Britain

Although Elizabethan England was very rich, there were many poor people who had to beg for a living. In 1563 a Poor Law was passed so that money could be raised for the less fortunate ones.

Sir Walter Raleigh

He had many expeditions across the Atlantic to America. From one trip he brought back potatoes and tobacco to Europe, two things that were not known of at that time.

Sir Francis Drake

The Spanish Armada

How did the spanish armada start.

In 1588 King Philip II of Spain, angry that the English were raiding Spanish ships and stealing their treasures, sent a fleet of ships (The Spanish Armada), to invade England. They planned to sail to the Netherlands to join with an army, but while sailing through the English Channel, they were attacked by English warships. Fierce sea battles took place and during one night, while the Spanish ships were anchored near France, the English sent eight ships that had been set on fire, into the middle of the Spanish ships. The Spanish panicked and scattered all over the place.

The next day battle raged all day but the English, in the end, won.

What happened to the Spanish Armada?

Having been blown north around Scotland and Ireland, most of the Spanish ships were wrecked in terrible storms.

Home Learning Ideas, Activities and Guides For Primary and Secondary School Teachers

Sophie Bessemer

Home learning can be challenging. Here, you’ll find links to all the home learning maths support available for schools from Third Space Learning. Originally created during the Covid-19 pandemic, it’s still available for schools to provide to pupils and their families during any other school closures.

Here’s how Third Space Learning can support home learning:

• Our  one to one maths tuition continues to run for children in school
• If you are registered for our  maths hub  (it’s free for teachers and parents to register) you can access a range of  free downloadable  maths resources   all created to help practise and revise the essential maths skills that children in Years 1 to 6 need. Look out for the home learning section.
• As well as the widely read articles for teachers and school leaders on the  Third Space Learning blog  we have added many articles designed to help demystify the maths curriculum and provide as much help and  home learning ideas  as possible for those supporting their children with maths at home. These are all linked from this page.

We’ve been supporting schools with online one to one tuition for over 10 years now, helping to raise attainment in maths across over 150,000 pupils.

Our one-to-one maths programmes take place online with tutor support in schools. To raise attainment across the school, not only among those pupils receiving one-to-one tuition , schools additionally have premium access to our Maths Hub, home to hundreds of quality teaching resources and CPD.

In this blog, we’ve brought together a collection of guides, advice, tips and additional teaching resources that you can share with parents to continue pupils’ learning at home, or fill in any learning gaps as needed.

Download free maths resources from our mathshub

Find what you need in our collection of free and premium maths resources for teachers and parents. Register to join for free (works best with Google Chrome).

How to use these home learning ideas and activities

When it comes to home learning, as any Headteacher or Senior Leader knows, it’s not enough to just provide an online learning equivalent. Not only does the quality and quantity of online devices and computers at home vary hugely, but parents will also have varying capacities in their time or confidence to keep children going. 

So, to help your parents get the most of the free resources we know you will be providing them with, we’ve brought together the following collection of guides, advice, tips and additional teaching resources, all centred around teaching maths. Every blog post contains ideas to keep children busy and engaged in maths at home and they’ve all been written with parents in mind.    

We recommend adding a link to this page on your own school website to provide another source of support and guidance for parents on their home learning journey.

Free Home Learning Packs

If you’re a class teacher or parent looking for education resources specifically to help children with maths at home take a look at this list of all free home learning packs available to you.

These are online resources all available to use at home, with a range of free activities and lesson plans included in them. They’re ideal for homeschooling young people aged 5 to 12.

Why it’s all about maths All our tutors are maths specialists, our one to one tuition lessons tackle every topic in the primary maths curriculum and we confidently believe that our maths resources are the best available for schools and parents. However we aren’t yet English teaching specialists so you won’t find any English, PSHE or other subjects here. For them we recommend you seek out other high quality providers – BBC Bitesize is often a good starting point.

Home Learning Maths Curriculum Guides For Parents

As with teachers there’s a vast range in what parents already know about the primary maths curriculum and the transition to secondary maths. We’ve created these home learning toolkits as practical information guides to hand to parents and carers with children studying maths at school. Each one breaks down what the curriculum expects from learners in maths for each year group and then how parents can help support their children through it.

Year 2 Maths : Home Learning Toolkit for 6 and 7 Year Olds

Year 3 Maths : Home Learning Toolkit for 7 and 8 Year Olds Year 3 Maths Worksheets

Year 4 Maths : Home Learning Toolkit for 8 and 9 Year Olds Year 4 Maths Worksheets

Year 5 Maths : Home Learning Toolkit for 9 and 10 Year Olds Year 5 Maths Worksheets

Year 6 Maths : Home Learning Toolkit for 10 and 11 Year Olds Year 6 Maths Worksheets

Year 7 Maths : Home Learning Toolkit for 11 and 12 Year Olds

Maths for 11 Year Olds: Tips For SATs and Transition To Secondary Maths

Maths Homework: What Parents Should Know

You may be surprised both by how much parents know about some aspects (ask them about partitioning!) and occasionally by how little (who knew the difference between area and perimeter was so tricky to grasp?). The following guides break down all parents need to know about the major topics at primary school that children struggle with. They are designed so parent and child can work through them together at their own pace as part of their home learning work on maths at home . 

• How To Teach Your Child To Learn Times Tables At Home
• How To Teach Your Child To Learn Fractions At Home
• How To Help Your Child When Comparing Fractions, Decimals, And Percentages
• How To Teach Your Child To Learn Short Division and Long Division At Home 

And if this still isn’t enough we’ve also brought together a list of our top free maths homework sites and apps

Inspiring A Love of Maths: Why Maths Is Important

Parents as we know are their children’s first influencers and can have an enormous effect on how much children enjoy and even achieve in maths. Here at Third Space Learning, we love maths, we know how important it is and we believe everyone can do it.

But it’s completely normal for some children to struggle, some children to think they hate it, and some even to develop maths anxiety .

The article Why is Maths Important points you to lots of useful information and ideas on how to build up children’s resilience and improve both their attitude to maths and their ability to learn maths, covering topics such as growth mindset and metacognition along the way.

Home Learning Maths Games

As educators, we know it’s not all about fun but, when you’re trying to keep spirits high, injecting a bit of fun into maths at home doesn’t go amiss so keep a look out for our games and activities blogs.

First we’ve got 35 brilliant times tables games to lighten up what can be a bit of a laborious but essential journey to mastering times tables . Then we’ve also collected together our favourite free maths games to do at home just in time for home learning – all you’ll need is a paper and pen, and for some of them, a die or a pack of cards. Hours of fantastic maths fun and it doesn’t even need to stop when you have to go on a journey. We’ve included some activities for car journeys too!

We’re also adding to our collections with free KS2 maths games , KS1 maths games and KS3 maths games for all maths topics.

Primary Maths Curriculum Knowledge Buster

Much of the primary maths curriculum will be new to parents compared with how they were taught, and the terminology may flummox or confuse, so we’d encourage you to point them to our free Primary Maths Dictionary for Kids , deliberately created to help explain some of the trickier and more unusual terms.   

All the key terms parents will come across from partitioning to perimeter are included in a dictionary format and then where needed, we provide links to additional guidance such as on BODMAS (or BIDMAS), square numbers , regular and irregular shapes and our favourite, maths word problems .

Each of the additional articles are tackled in a ‘What is’ format, suitable for KS1 and KS2 parents with sample questions and answers and how they are used in the primary maths curriculum. A bit like you’re likely to find on the knowledge organisers your school will hand out to show what children need to learn about a topic.

Topics covered like this so far include:

• What Is The Highest Common Factor
• What Is A Venn Diagram
• What Are Lowest Common Multiples
• What Is Place Value
• What Is A Unit Fraction
• What Is A Line Of Symmetry: Symmetrical Shapes Explained For Primary Parents And Kids
• What Is A Number Sentence: Explained For Primary Parents And Kids!
• What Is The Highest Common Factor: Explained For Primary Parents And Kids
• What Is A Prime Number?  
• What Is Partitioning?
• What Is The 12 Hour And 24 Hour Clock? 
• What Are Equivalent Fractions
• What Are Concrete Resources

We’re adding to this primary maths dictionary all the time but if we don’t cover it and you need us to, just get in touch [email protected] and we’ll write it for you! We’re open to requests from teachers as well as parents – it’s all valuable CPD.

Home Learning and Primary School Homework

Never will parents have such respect for teachers as they will after 48 hours of home learning. The principles of home learning apply equally to managing children’s homework in ordinary times. Wherever you sit on the homework debate and whether it’s necessary at primary school, most schools still subscribe to some degree of learning taking place at home, whether that’s phonics, weekly spellings, or daily Times Tables Rockstars.

Use our primary homework help guide for parents to understand what you need to know and how to embed good habits and routines in school homework – look out for top tips and hacks from parents with experience.

KS1 And KS2 SATs For Parents

Every year we give over 7,000 pupils online maths interventions to support them for their Key Stage 2 SATs . During Covid, SATs were cancelled but now that SATs are back , parents may find some of the tips and information helpful at this time. Plenty of the teaching content and revision techniques are applicable for Year 6 as a whole, not just the end of year assessments. Here is everything parents need to know about the KS1 and KS2 SATs .

We hope this blog helps in some way to support schools and families. Third Space Learning will be operating as usual through the crisis and we’re setting up all children to continue to receive their 1-to-1 maths intervention programmes from home.

Get in touch at [email protected] or on twitter or facebook if you need any support in maths, want to set up your own pupils with interactive one to one maths lessons or just generally fancy a chat. We’re always around!

DO YOU HAVE STUDENTS WHO NEED MORE SUPPORT IN MATHS?

Every week Third Space Learning’s maths specialist tutors support thousands of students across hundreds of schools with weekly one to one tuition designed to plug gaps and boost progress.

Since 2013 these personalised one to one lessons have helped over 150,000 primary and secondary students become more confident, able mathematicians.

The Stone Age

What was the Stone Age?

The Stone Age is the name given to the earliest period of human culture when stone tools were first used . In Britain, the Stone Age was around 12,000 years ago .

When people began smelting metal around 4500 years ago the Bronze Age began in the British Isles.

Top 10 facts

• Our ancestor, modern man  Homo sapiens , emerged around 200,000 years ago.
• Homo habilis , an early human who evolved around 2.3 million years ago, was probably the first to make stone tools.
• Neanderthals died out around 30,000 years ago.
• Flint was commonly used for making stone tools but other stones such as chert and obsidian were also used.
• The Stone Age is divided into three periods; the Palaeolithic (old Stone Age), Mesolithic (middle Stone Age) and the Neolithic (new Stone Age).
• Palaeolithic and Mesolithic people were nomadic hunter gatherers . They moved frequently following the animals that they hunted and gathering fruits and berries when they could.
• The dog was the first animal to be domesticated. This happened during the Mesolithic period. Dogs could help with the hunt, warn of danger and provide warmth and comfort.
• The gradual development of agriculture and the domestication of animals during the Neolithic period meant that people could live in settled communities.
• Some isolated tribespeople were still effectively living in the Stone Age as recently as the twentieth century.
• The houses in Skara Brae , a Neolithic Orkney village, had beds, cupboards, dressers, shelves and chairs.

Stone Age Timeline

The Palaeolithic or old Stone Age lasted from 2.7 million years ago to around 20,000 to 10,000 years ago . Britain would have looked very different during the Paleolithic: there were a number of cold periods called ice ages and the shape of landscapes changed as it became warmer and colder. During the Lower Palaeolithic Britian was not an island, but connected to mainland Europe. Some time between 400,000 and 200,000 years ago that changed and the area between the British Isles and what is now Denmark flooded and finally disappeared under the sea about 7500 years ago. A number of distinct groups of humans lived during the Paleolithic but only our ancestor Homo sapiens has survived. During this time men were hunter gatherers , finding food from their local environment and moving from site to site depending on the season. Tools were made of stone but also of wood, bone, leather and vegetable fibres. Language also developed and its early forms may have been similar to the click languages used by some South and East African peoples today. The period also saw the beginnings of art , such as the cave paintings of Chauvet in France and Venus figurines (statues of pregnant women) and the development of religion . The Mesolithic or middle Stone Age saw the development of finer, smaller stone tools such as arrow or spear heads. The first evidence for homes in Britain comes from this period, and the first  canoes were made. This meant that men could fish as well as hunt. The dog was also domesticated during this period, probably by the selection and breeding of the least aggressive wolves. The Neolithic or new Stone Age, from around 6000 years ago, saw the beginnings of agriculture . Farmers from mainland Europe probably brought seeds and farming tools to Britain. Growing crops was a more reliable food supply than gathering wild plants and the landscape was transformed by a new type of life, linked to settled communities of people. Animals such as the cow and sheep were domesticated and provided a ready supply of meat, milk, wool, leather and bone. Grain was the first food that could be stored for long periods of time. Grain needed to be processed so stones were used for scything (cutting grass crops) and grinding. The need to harvest and store grain meant that it became necessary to stay in one place and settlements could develop. Trees were cut down to make clearings where crops could be grown and people worked together to construct trackways and paths.  Large scale construction could take place, trade developed and people began to have different roles such as leader, priest, fighter, farmer, hunter or slave. By the end of the Stone Age people created enclosures by piling up circular earth banks, perhaps to protect themselves and their animals, and buried their dead in huge earth mounds and under stone slabs . Silbury Hill, in Wiltshire, is the largest prehistoric earth mound in Europe. Built around 4500 years ago, its height and volume are similar to those of Egyptian pyramids , which were built at around the same time, 2500BC. It's been estimated that its construction must have taken around 4 million man hours of work.
