Romans
Step into your time machines, Year 3, because we’re heading back nearly 2,000 years to the time of the Romans!
You’re about to discover fierce warriors, powerful emperors, and daring invasions as we explore how the Romans tried to take over Britain. We’ll meet famous figures like Julius Caesar and the brave British queen Boudica, learn about the amazing Roman army and their clever inventions, and find out why they built a giant wall called Hadrian’s Wall! Did you know the Romans made Colchester – right here near us – one of the most important towns in Roman Britain? It was even the first Roman capital!
We’ll travel through time using a timeline with BC and AD, locate places like Rome, Italy and Colchester on maps, and even compare life in the UK and Italy – from volcanoes like Mount Vesuvius to Roman chariots racing through ancient streets! By the end of this topic, you’ll be real history detectives, using clues to understand how the Romans changed life in Britain forever.
Let the Roman adventure begin!
