HISTORY
During the Autumn term, Year 4 will travel back in time to explore the ROMAN EMPIRE and the impact it had on Britain. The children will explore early Rome and meet the many leaders of the Roman Empire. They will discover why Julius Caesar failed to invade, but Claudius was successful. Year 4 will also compare Roman and Celtic settlements and meet Queen Boudicca and explore how she resisted the Romans. They will also discover how the Romans protected their lands and understand the impact the Romans had on Britain in the past and today.
