The Road from Rome
Spring 1 2024
RATIONALE: In response to excavation of the Roman artefacts, children will learn about the Roman Empire and its effect and legacy on Britain. The children will gain an understanding of the role Rome had over Britain and its influence on the modern day. Through learning about how the Romans were able to rule such a large Empire, the children will consider how we find out things from the past, how the Romans lived in Britain and Boudicca’s rebellion. Through exploring the Roman ruling and justice systems, children will begin to understand how our country is run today. Whilst reading The Leopard in the Golden Cage, the children will explore further how the Romans lived through exploration of character and writing a non-chronological report. After this, the children will investigate why the Roman Empire ceased in Britain and the influence and legacy the left behind.
