D-Day 65The Royal British Legion Learning Pack - 2010/2011

This Learning Pack is designed to assist teachers to introduce specific themes into the classroom. Although it primarily covers the History and Citizenship curricula, it can also be used to support literacy and aspects of PSHE and Religious Studies. 

The pack can be used either as a starting point for certain topics, or to inspire teachers and other users to complementary routes on tackling these themes. The factual information included on each topic is enough for a single lesson, or as a trigger for extended activities. Each section contains lesson ideas and follow-up suggestions.

The topics support the current areas of the National Curriculum for the following units:

  • History - Key Stages 1 and 2, Units 9, 13, 17 and 20.  Key Stage 3, The First and Second World Wars, including The Holocaust.
  • Citizenship - Key stage 1-4: The identities behind Britain today.  Understanding Human Rights.  Challenging racism and discrimination.  War, conflict and peace. Identity and diversity. Issues supporting rights and responsibilities.

All our learning resources are available, free of charge, all year round. The main 28-page learning pack, for the academic year 2010/2011, also contains a set of 6 A2-sized colour posters in the back pocket. The posters are ideal for classroom or event displays, Remembrance activities and assemblies. We also produce a triple-disk CD Rom and DVD set, providing an extensive amount of archive and contemporary information to teachers, students and all those working with young people. This disk set, also available free of charge, is produced every October.

You can download the 2010/2011 Learning Pack here.
A Welsh version of the 2010/2011 Learning Pack is also available.

Posters are supplied as hard copies in sets of 6 and are contained within the printed learning pack. Hard copies of posters are NOT available separately, however both English and Welsh individual posters can be downloaded by clicking on the links in the table below:
