I created this resources to gain a better understanding of overlap and sequence between historical periods across the world. It is intended to give an overview rather than give specific dates. Due to the broad range of time that I have tried to cover, the dates are only accurate to within a 50 year period. I do not pretend to be an expert in any of these periods, so the approximate dates are the result of research online. If you notice any major errors in these approximate dates please let me know and I will edit the resource. Similarly, If I’ve missed some key historic periods that you think would be useful to include, please let me know and I will update the resource accordingly.

This Knowledge Organiser (KO) was designed with a a Year 5 class in mind in the lead up to the 2016 Olympics in Rio. Also included is an excel file designed to help with retrieval practice and quizzing based on the KO. Images were gained from a Google Image search - if I have inadvertently used one of your images without crediting you, please let me know so that I can attribute it (I made these KOs before I had any intentions of sharing them!).

This Knowledge Organiser (KO) was originally designed with a Year 3 class in mind when teaching the IPC unit ‘Inventions That Changed The World’. Also included here are a series of quizzes to be used for retrieval practice. Unlike other KOs, I would not expect students to commit all of the information presented here to memory; however, I believe it can still provide a useful point for beginning discussion and is a useful subject knowledge resource.

This Knowledge Organiser (KO) was originally designed with a Year 3 class in mind when teaching the IPC topic ‘Footprints from the Past’. It could easily be used or adapted for younger classes studying dinosaurs. Also included here are a series of quizzes to be used for retrieval practice. With special thanks to @jon_hutchinson for his advice and feedback in creating and designing this KO, which was one of my first.

This Knowledge Organiser (KO) was designed with a mixed Year 5/6 class in mind when teaching the Year 5 Space science unit and IPC Space topics. UPDATE: Now including retrieval quizzes.

This Knowledge Organiser (KO) was originally designed with a Year 3 class in mind when teaching the a unit on the Ancient Egyptians. It could easily be used or adapted for both older younger classes. Also included here are a series of quizzes to be used for retrieval practice. With special thanks to @MichaelT1979 for his inspiration using his History ‘Cheat Sheets’, part of which I have sampled in this KO. You kind find all of Michael’s resources, including his Cheat Sheets, on his website under the free resources tab.
