Educational television programmes

Two rather interesting programmes have been on television over the past week, first of all there was Secrets of the Stonehenge Skeletons which looks at the origins of Stonehenge and its purpose (now available for viewing on 4oD). This was followed by Dan Snow's A history of Syria which looks at the origins of conflict in the region and the impact of French and British colonial influence (now available for viewing on BBC iPlayer)

As an addition Dan Snow has produced a series looking at historical battlefields and would be educational for those with an interest in military history (and Year 7 pupils given that one of the battles studied is the battle of Hastings)
