Roman Britain History Workshop by Those History People (KS1-KS2)
Workshop Themes: Romans, Romans in Britain, Iron Age
Ages: Key Stage 1, Key Stage 2
Locations: Online, England
Workshop Summary:
Step back in time to iron-age Roman Britain. Rumour has it that Camulodunum has been attacked by Boudica and the Iceni, and a revolt has begun. The pupils will learn about the cause and outcome of the Boudican revolt and Roman military life through a combination of practical making activities, drama and role-play.
The morning workshop focuses on making and role play. The pupils will be met by the præfectus catorum of the IXth legion, who will guide them around the fort. After a short introduction the children will engage in a series of activities and role play that will immerse them in history. While working, the pupils will also be spreading news and asking questions to learn more about Roman Britain.
The morning sessions may include the following making activities:
Wax Tablets and Stylus making
Ink making and writing
Make scented oils in the bath house
Making a mosaic
Painting a fresco
Make a clay pot
Make a La Téne style brooch
Make a votive offering
Work in the Hospital
For the afternoon session we will leap forward two thousand years and excavate the fort with an archeology activity and learn more about Roman life in Britain.
