Strengths and weakness of the the League’s structure
Humanitarian work
Border disputes in the 1920s
International agreements

Abyssinia
The useful document that I gave out at Easter ‘boot camp’, and again today, can be downloaded here. If you want to practise or repeat the reading race we did in lesson, the questions can be found here. Finally, if you are looking to break up your revision here are the revision games that we played at the end of the lesson.
Year 11 Paper 1
Apr 29th
Hello Year 11! It has been really encouraging seeing lots of you at revision over the last couple of weeks. It is really important that you continue to revise outside of lessons, so that our in class revision can focus on key skills and techniques for the exams. In today’s lesson we looked at the Treaty of Versailles. In particular you need to know:
- Europe in 1918
- Aims and motives of the Big Three
- Terms of the Treaty (GARGLE)
- Reactions and impact on Germany
- Arguments whether it was justified
- Reactions of the victors
- The other treaties
If you are looking to add detail to your notes, or you want to learn a section in a different way then look at some of the podcasts and videos on the International relations page.
Race to the skies

Year 10 have been learning about the economic boom in the USA in the 1920s. As part of their revision the students have been competing to build their own 1920s skyscraper. Just like in the 1920s the prizes went to the tallest and the most eye catching!
Year 10 Mock

Hello Year 10, your end of unit mock exam is fast approaching. As we discussed in lessons, there is a useful set of notes to help you with your revision of the League of Nations. The notes can be downloaded here. There are a series of suggested activities to help you learn it. There are also podcasts and video clips on this page under ‘why was there no major war in the 1920s?’.
The only way is up?

Year 10 have been studying the Wall Street Crash. As part of that we have looked at how people can make money from stocks and shares. In today’s lesson you will look at the effects of the Wall Street Crash. However I also want to give you the chance to see if you can make some money on the stock market. Download this spreadsheet to your documents. It gives you £1000 to spend on the London Stock Exchange. The winner will be the investor who has the most money by the first week back in September. Think about which companies you want to invest in. Remember you want to buy cheap and sell high. Which companies do you think are struggling at the moment but who might be doing well by September.
