75 years since Britain declared war on Germany, 1939
On 2nd September, 1666, a fire broke out in the bakery of Thomas Farriner in Pudding Lane, London. The fire that spread across the city became known as the Great Fire of London. It rapidly destroyed thousands of timber buildings. Despite efforts to stop it, the wind blew the fire far and wide, burning over 13,000 homes and 84 churches to the ground.

Fall of the Berlin Wall: 9th November marks 25 years since East Germany (GDR) allowed its citizens to cross freely into West Berlin. The Berlin Wall, constructed in 1961, came to symbolize the “Iron Curtain” that separated Western Europe and the Eastern Bloc during the Cold War. These events led to German reunification in October 1990. www.bit.ly/P7SOjv

Resilience is about recovering quickly when things don’t go to plan. The more resilient we are, the more likely it is that we’ll bounce back from adversity. When bad things happen, ask yourself ‘are things really as bad as they seem?’ and ‘can I learn anything from this experience?’

75 years since food rationing. On 8th January 1940, during WW2, food was first rationed. The German blockade on trade into Britain meant that food was in short supply and had to be shared out. Wasting food later became a criminal offence and other items, like petrol & clothing, were also rationed.

January 20th is the 750th anniversary of what is widely regarded as the first ever Parliament of England involving citizens not of noble birth. The attendance at parliament of knights and burgesses historically became known as the summoning of “the Commons”, a term derived from the Norman French word “commune”, literally translated as the “community of the realm”.

It’s Easter this week. Easter is the Christian festival celebrating the resurrection of Christ. Easter is a moveable feast, which means the date can change every year – it is established as the first Sunday after the full moon following the March equinox. There are many Easter traditions such as the giving of eggs which are a traditional symbol of fertility. In Christianity Easter eggs symbolize the empty tomb of Jesus.

When we communicate with others we need to remember that it’s good to negotiate so that other people’s feelings are taken into consideration. The best outcome is when both people feel listened to and a win-win solution is reached. How good are your negotiations skills? Can you think of a time when you have negotiated a win-win outcome?

Planning an essay Preparation • Look for key words in the question. What is the topic? What sort of answer should you give? An essay that asks you to discuss is very different from one that asks you to summarise. • Some questions are quite open, others very specific. Look out for points that have to be covered. • Make a mind map. This will help you to see how arguments connect. • Make a plan to guide your essay. How will you order your arguments? Which are most important? How will the overall argument develop?
1. Introduction • One paragraph. • Set the scene by outlining the main points and overall argument. • Keep it short and to the point. • Capture the reader’s attention by choosing words carefully. Take your time to write it.
3. Conclusion • One paragraph. • This is similar to your introduction. Summarise the points you have made and end with a final statement that answers the question. • Never introduce a new point in the conclusion!
Top Tips • Keep a note of books and websites that you have used. You might be asked to provide a bibliography. • Avoid slang and abbreviations. Vary your vocabulary and keep it formal. Above all, be clear! • Proof read! It’s easy to miss small mistakes the first time round. Get other people to read through it too. • Never rush your essay. Ideas develop and grow over time and the earlier you start, the better the final result.
• Each point develops into a paragraph. Remember to ‘PEE’: introduce your point, support it with evidence (a quote, for example) and give an explanation – why is this point important? • Be careful of facts and opinions. Use phrases such as ‘it could be said that…’
For more help on essay writing, try visiting some of these sites...
• Don’t wander from the point. To keep your answer relevant, refer back to the question now and again. • Ask yourself how and why, not just who, where and when. • Don’t write a list! Paragraphs must link to form a cohesive argument.

Revision Top Tips for Exams Preparation is the secret to exam success. Revise properly and you’ll have no worries!
Plan Plan your revision around your priorities. Which exam is first? Which subjects do you find hardest? Remember to be realistic when planning your time – rushed revision is unproductive revision, so start nice and early.
Revise
Whether it’s mind maps or revision cards, find out what revision method works best for you. Try revising with friends – listening to their ideas and teaching them what you’ve been learning can be very effective. Revise in a place without distractions and keep notes organised.
Revision
Eat well & exercise
A good diet is vital, so be sure to eat your fivea-day. Nuts, fish and whole grains are also good brain foods. Drink plenty of water to keep your body and brain hydrated. Get out in the fresh air as often as you can.
Practise
Look at past exam papers to know what to expect. After a few weeks of revision, practise
them in exam conditions without looking at your notes. Ask your teacher to mark them for you to see if you’re on the right track.
Ask for help
It’ll be tempting to revise what you already know. Don’t ignore what you don’t understand! Ask a teacher or friend for help before it’s too late.
Rest
Believe it or not, it is possible to over revise. Make sure you take a break every 45 minutes and get plenty of fresh air and sleep. It’s during sleep that our brains organise and make sense of everything that we have been learning.
Exam
Be prepared! Switch your phone off and have everything you need. Don’t try to revise just before going in. When you begin, read the questions carefully and think before answering. If you’re struggling, leave difficult questions until the end. If you have time, read through your answers and correct any mistakes.
You’re bound to be nervous during the exam period, but if you’ve revised properly there’s no need to worry. If you need more tips on exam stress, visit the Stress Busting website: www.stressbusting.co.uk/how-to-deal-withexam-stress

Internet Safety Protecting Yourself • Keep your address, email and phone number to yourself. Only close friends and family need to know these. • Think first! Embarrassing or revealing social media profile photos can be seen by anyone. If you post on a forum or have a blog, are you happy for anyone to read it? • If someone contacts you or wants to be ‘friends’, ask yourself ‘how well do I know this person?’ before responding. • It’s a good idea to avoid using your full name. To be extra-safe, choose another name altogether. • Keep your password to yourself and choose one that isn’t obvious. Lock your phone with a PIN code and log out of any accounts. • Are you old enough? Some websites have a minimum age (13 on Facebook). If you’re younger they could be unsuitable. • When using a search engine, switch on the safer search filter. Choose words carefully so you don’t see anything offensive.
Protecting your Gadgets • Never download an email attachment from an unknown person. • Make sure you have anti-virus software before downloading anything.
If you want to know more, there’s plenty of help out there! www.thinkuknow.co.uk www.digizen.org • Downloading music and films illegally can also result in a virus. • Your phone can get a virus too, so be careful of the websites you choose to visit.
Bullies and Tricksters • Never meet up with someone you met online. They might seem nice in the virtual world, but the reality could be very different. • Ignore strangers who contact you claiming to be in trouble or in need of money. • Ignore people who ask for private information like bank details. A real bank would never ask you to give this information over the phone or by email. • The internet is not the real world. If someone becomes aggressive, don’t get involved! • If you’re bullied, save any messages and tell someone you trust. • Many websites have their own advice on what to do if you feel threatened. Have a look at the Facebook and Twitter help pages: www.facebook.com/help support.twitter.com/articles/20169998reporting-abusive-behavior
If you’re being bullied or are worried about a friend, Beat Bullying and ChildLine are great sources of advice. You can even create an account and talk to a mentor or counsellor. www.beatbullying.org
Internet Safety
The internet is undoubtedly an incredible invention but there are dangers to watch out for. When surfing the net on your mobile, laptop or tablet, follow these golden rules to keep safe.

200 years since the
Field marshal Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington
WELLESLEY was born into a wealthy Anglo-Irish aristocratic family in Ireland, the third of five brothers on 1st May 1769.
He showed little promise during his education and late teens but joined the army with a commission in 1787. His first proposal to his wife-tobe was rejected because he was considered to be a young man in debt, with very poor prospects. This spurred him on in his new career. He gained considerable military experience during campaigns in the Netherlands, India & Denmark and rose to prominence as a senior commander in the Peninsular War fought in Spain and Portugal against the French from 1808 to 1814. He was created a Duke for his many successes there and was then appointed ambassador to France. In 1815 he successfully led the Anglo-Allied army at Waterloo before becoming Commander-in-Chief of the British Army from 1829. He also entered politics becoming Tory Prime Minister twice, in 1828-30 and 1834, before retiring in 1846. He died in 1852 at the age of 83. Quite a life of achievement for a boy whose mother had once said “I don’t know what I shall do with my awkward son Arthur”
Battle of
Scotland Forever! A painting capturing the famous cavalry charge at Waterloo
June 18th 2015 is the bicentenary of the Battle of Waterloo. Fought near
the village of Waterloo in present day Belgium, this bloody battle brought to a close more than 25 years of
conflict throughout Europe, ushering in a half-century of European peace
that in turn established Britain as the world’s dominant economic power.
The French Revolution of 1789 had spread panic throughout Europe’s established order and from the ensuing turmoil one of history’s most enduring and charismatic leaders, Napoleon Bonaparte, rose to power. Napoleon fought a series of major campaigns in Europe as well as planning an invasion of Britain. Despite many great victories - the battles of Marengo, Austerlitz, Friedland & Wagram - and extending the French sphere of influence over much of Europe, he suffered a series of setbacks: a disastrous invasion of Russia followed by the retreat from Moscow in the winter of 1812, losing the Peninsular War of 1807-14 and finally defeat at the Battle of Leipzig in 1813. His initial reign ended with exile to the Mediterranean island of Elba.
By early 1815 Napoleon had escaped and returned to mainland France and started his second reign, known as the ‘Hundred Days’. Immediately declaring him an outlaw, an Allied coalition of Great Britain, Russia, Austria and Prussia resolved to confront him. Napoleon marched north from Paris in an attempt to knock out the coalition forces before they could mobilise. He attempted to drive a wedge between the oncoming British under Wellington and Prussians under von Blücher, defeating the Prussians on June 16th at the Battle of Ligny and engaging the British at Quatre-Bras. Wellington withdrew his forces north to a defensive position of his own choosing on a low ridge eleven miles south of Brussels, whilst the mauled Prussians managed to withdraw eight miles to the east. By nightfall the French had arrived to confront Wellington, both armies seeking shelter from the torrential rain. The French numbered 69,000 including 40,000 infantry, 14,000 cavalry and 7,000 artillery with 250 guns. Importantly, most were veterans from many of Napoleon’s earlier campaigns. The Allied army numbered 67,000 with 50,000 infantry, 11,000 cavalry and 6,000 artillery soldiers with only 150 guns. Only 25,000
Waterloo
of the Royal Scots Greys Cavalry Regiment By Lady Elizabeth Butler
were actually British, the remainder a mixture of Dutch, Belgians and Germans, with very few veterans. The Prussians had a further 48,000 men. As Sunday 18th June dawned Napoleon, although brimming with confidence about the forthcoming battle, decided to delay due to the sodden ground, eventually launching his attack around mid-morning. The battle lasted all day with the advantage swinging to and fro between the French and Allies, whilst death and destruction reigned. Both armies slogged it out with unwavering artillery fire, mass infantry attacks and cavalry charges, gradually eroding each other’s strength. By midafternoon the Prussians managed to reach the battlefield, link-up with the British and attack Napoleon’s exposed right flank, effectively giving advantage to the Allies. At some point in the early evening, after his ‘Old Guard’ failed in their late attack, Napoleon fled the battlefield, shortly followed by the remnants of his routed army. He arrived in Paris to raise new forces, but gained little support, eventually surrendering to the British. He was then exiled to the distant island of St Helena.
Casualties at Waterloo were shockingly high on both sides: Wellington lost 15,000 and Blücher 7,000 dead or wounded, whilst the French lost 25,000 with over 8,000 taken prisoner. A combination of factors delivered the narrow victory for the Allies. Foremost was the unimpeded and timely arrival of Blücher’s Prussians, but the British infantry’s ability to withstand and counter endless French attacks during the day was key. Wellington’s leadership skills, tactical nous and selection of ground for this defensive battle was also a major contribution. Despite this Wellington later commented that Waterloo was “the nearest-run thing you ever saw in your life.” For Napoleon, Waterloo was a battle with many uncharacteristic mistakes. He appeared over-confident about his chances and was dismissive about the Prussian threat. Unusually, he did not play his normal leadership role in the battle (due to ill-health it is believed) and he has been criticised for poor selection of key commanders, many of whom failed to achieve their objectives. Napoleon’s delay in starting the battle was also blamed as a contributory factor for defeat.
18th June 1815
Napoleon Bonaparte
NAPOLEON
was born into a family of noble Italian ancestry on Corsica on 15th August 1769. He was well educated eventually attending the military academy in Paris. He rose to prominence through the French Revolutionary era, leading successful campaigns against enemies of the revolution, most notably in Italy. With this success came promotion and an irresistible urge to participate further in politics. With post-revolutionary France in turmoil he saw an opportunity to seize power as First Consul in 1799. In 1804 he restarted the hereditary monarchy in France, crowning himself Emperor I and shortly later also as King of Italy. Napoleon led France through many wars, both aggressively expanding France’s empire and defending against the shifting alliances and coalitions dominating Europe at that time. Whilst ultimately responsible for France’s loss of status by 1815, as well as the deaths of many citizens, he is largely considered a genius in the operational art of war and is ranked in history as a great military commander. He was also responsible for establishing the Napoleonic Code, the first modern legal code that has influenced the law of many countries to this day. He died in exile on St Helena on 5th May 1821 but was buried in Paris in 1840.
