Prepare and adapt

Choose a short activity for younger learners or add source comparison and written reasoning for older learners. Read prompts aloud, offer drawing or a scribe and allow passing. History learning should explain people and events through sourced examples; avoid stereotypes, re-enactments of harm or imitation of cultural ceremonies. Fire activities use the local emergency number and adult-approved plans.
