The South Downs National Park is the newest national Park in England. It became fully operational on 1st April 2011 and covers 628 square miles stretching for 87 miles across Winchester in the west to Eastbourne in the east through the counties of Hampshire, West Sussex and East Sussex. The park covers the chalk ridge of the South Downs and the Western Weald with its heavily wooded sandstone and clay hills and vales. The only National Trail that lies completely inside the national park is the South Down Way which spans the entire length of the park.
These worksheets highlight the purpose of national parks and the pros and cons put forward by different groups which the new status would effect. The students are then asked to weigh these opinions up and debate whether they think the South Downs should have been granted National Park status.

This .pdf includes directions and a rubric for a project requiring students to create a time capsule from a moment, event, or era in history. My students take a Georgia Milestones Assessment then have two weeks of school left, and since we have the pressure of a high-stakes assessment weighing us down all year, I spend quite a bit of time remediating during the year. Once the Milestones Assessment is over, however, I like to provide engaging projects that appeal more to the artistic and tactile students than an interactive notebook might. I typically allow my students to choose a topic from a list of events, included in the directions, and to work in partners.
In this video you will see chickens being reared to lay eggs. This is the beginning of the production of chicken for restaurants, shops and supermarkets. Chicken production begins at a rearing farm. The rearing farm produces a healthy flock of birds to lay eggs which will be sent to a hatchery. A range of breeds are reared on the farm. One day old chicks are brought to the farm and are fed a special diet, along with water. The birds are weighed regularly to keep an eye on their health. The birds are also given medicine to protect them from diseases.The health and welfare of the chickens is very important to the farmer. To keep the chickens healthy the workers wear protective clothing, change and clean their boots and clean their hands. The birds and the equipment are checked at least three times a day to make sure the chickens are being kept in good conditions. Suitable for children aged 8-11 years of age.
