Today we started our new history unit ‘Romans in Britain’. We looked at what an invasion is and explored vocabulary such as empire, celts, enslaved and chronology. The children highlighted key dates on a timeline from 55BC when Julius Caesar unsuccessfully invaded Britain, right up to AD 410 when the Roman army left. 
Finally we looked at the key reasons for the Romans wanting to invade Britain which included sourcing metals, natural  resources and better farmland.
