KS1 Teaching Materials 

This innovative programme of study for KS1 primary pupils raises awareness of how population size affects consumption. Lessons move from studying how much pupils consume in the present day back to the history of the fascinating city of Angkor in Cambodia which harnessed its water supply to grow into the largest city in the pre-industrial world. Available free over the internet, lessons foster creative thinking skills in the next generation, providing teachers with flexible, easy-to-use materials they will want to return to again and again.

Piloted by pupils in an inner-city London school, Angkor address NC programmes of study in: English, Maths, Geography, Science, Citizenship and Religious Education.
