BBC's Primary History

Very nicely organized and colorful website for primary history from BBC. Yes, it will have a British slant to it! Never hurts to explore a different perspective, you might learn something!

There are six categories:

• Ancient Greeks
• Romans
• Anglo-Saxons
• Vikings
• Children of Victorian Britain
• Children of World War II

Each includes a neat timeline and various places to explore. These areas could be great resources in other areas of studies. For example, in Children of World War II, there is an area about Evacuation that would be quite helpful in a study of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. There is an interesting interactive activity on that page about rationing which starts with a shopping list and helps show what was and wasn't available and what was rationed and a potential sample meal.
