Our free worksheets

One of the many benefits of a History in Brass visit is that it stimulates the children's interest in the period they are studying, leaving them eager to explore further. We understand that teachers have a busy schedule and are always looking for high quality relevant teaching resources, so we provide a series of follow-on activities to supplement and enhance any visit. Please see some examples below:

Lessons prior to your visit from History in Brass

We have provided a basic lesson outline here that can be planned at an appropriate level for children across Key stages 1, 2 and 3. It can be used as an activity prior to the pupils' visit from History in Brass and will help the children to focus their attention on what they would like to learn from the History in Brass team.

According to their teacher, Mrs Ludeman, "the children were not only inspired by the activity but, as you can read, by the history behind it." Below is just a small sample of their work.
