The War of the Worlds

by H. G. Wells

When cylinders from Mars land in the English countryside, ordinary life collapses before the invaders' terrible machines. Wells' original alien-invasion story asks how people behave when everything they trust is threatened.

What's in the pack

This is a gentle, Charlotte-Mason-style study built for families teaching different ages together — a core plan for Years 7–9, a lighter touch for Years 5–6, and a GCSE-style extension for Years 10–11. The study guide gives the parent the plan (readings, narration, and links to history, art, geography and nature study); the pupil booklet gives the child a day-by-day companion with room to respond; and the slides introduce and structure the study.

Looking for the day-to-day too?

Learning Hub has every subject for Years 6 to 11 — lessons, unlimited auto-marked questions with worked solutions, real mock exams, learning games, and reading support for dyslexia. £6.99 a month for the whole family, 14-day free trial, no card needed, no ads.
