Roman Impact

In the Autumn term we will then move on to our Romans topic by exploring the impact the Roman invasion had on Britain. To start the unit we will have our Roman day when we dedicate a full day towards our Hisotry learning and dress up as Romans!

We will apply the knowledge that we had learnt on our Roman day throughout the rest of the unit when exploring why the Romans invaded Britain, the changes they made when they arrived, how the ancient Britons felt about these changes and what the Romans did to convince the Britons to adapt to the Roman way of life. We also discover who the key people of the era were including Emperor Claudius, Emperor Caesar, Emperor Hadrian and Queen Boudicca.  

Roman Legacy

In the Spring term, we will continue our Roman topic by exploring the legacy the Romans left within Britain. We discover different aspects of life that the Romans introduced which we still use today, such as the calendar, money, aqueducts and the sewage system. Furthermore, we explore the Roman introduction of roads to Britain, identifying where these roads were and discovering if we still use these roads today.
