Emperors and Empires

    In this history project, children revisit the AD and BC and build on their knowledge of world history. They devise historically valid questions about everyday life in the Roman Empire and study Roman artefacts, information sheets and other source materials to find the answers. 
 
  Children consolidate their understanding of the role of an emperor and  develop their understanding of social hierarchy by learning about the hierarchy of ancient Rome. They also learn about hierarchy in the Roman army and  discover how its well-organised structure helped the Empire to expand.

   We also explore the challenges the Romans faced including the rebellion led by Boudicca and the struggle with Scotland which led to Hadrian's Wall being built.
