VE Day presentation with a wealth of information about the day celebrated on the 8th May. Linked to British values and involves both a historical look at this important event, and how students should think of this in the context of British values. There are some links to YouTube videos within the 18 slide presentation. I would recommend that you check these first as sometimes videos can change or become unavailable over time (the videos are not linked straight within the presentation, so if you choose not to use the videos that will work fine).

A programming task to teach about selection. I use this with Python, but it is not a language dependent task. Helpful for talking about indentation.
