Developed by a history specialist Stuart Tiffany (Mr T Does History) to provide this primary KS2 history Key to the National Curriculum resource. This unit encourages children to investigate and comprehend the Roman Empire and its impact on Britain.

Following the National Curriculum, this module will help children to understand historical concepts such as continuity and change, cause and consequence, similarity, difference and significance, and use them to make connections, draw contrasts, analyse trends, frame historically-valid questions and create their own structured accounts, including written narratives and analyses.

Your children will learn about…

• The concept of an empire and how to identify the spread of the empire over time
• the principle of chronological concurrence
• invasion as a concept
• how the Romans took and maintained control of Britain
• Roman settlements in order to understand their significance
• What the Romans brought to Britain and appreciate the legacy they left behind
