The Tudors are a fascinating topic, with Tudor monarchs among most famous of all of England's Kings and Queens.

One of the most common tasks for kids while they are studying the Tudors, is to create a 'Tudor timeline' project to help them understand when important events happened. Here, we've listed in chronological order who reigned when, who fought who, and in exactly which order Henry VIII married his wives!

Once you're done, make sure to check out more about the Tudors here!

Anglo-Saxons - not as famous as the Romans, but nevertheless an important part of British history.

As part of their history studies in KS2, children must learn about the Anglo-Saxons and discover more about their houses and their way of life. Our easy guide will help you find out more, and learn some fun facts.

In Key Stage 2, children study the social history of World War II and learn what it was like to live through the war.

They may have seen pictures of evacuees being sent out to live in the country and will be familiar with the little cardboard box that every child wore. Gas masks were issued to children (and grown-ups) in case the Nazis unleashed a gas attack on Britain.

Your kids might be more familiar with the facts around the world war, thanks to the VE Day celebrations, but here we will focus on what they need to know about gas masks.
