Why a quiz works better than a generic worksheet

Year 6 history units often cover a lot of ground in one term, from Ancient Greece and the Anglo-Saxons to the Victorians, so a year 6 history quiz is a quick way to check what has stuck. A printed worksheet from the internet will rarely match the topics your class studied this week.

Multiple choice, true or false and short-answer formats
