We know about the Roman invasion of Britain from the Roman perspective, but what about the Britons…? What did they think, and what did they do about the Romans taking over their lands? This week’s History lesson is all about the Briton’s response to the Roman invasion, and how it then became part of the empire for 300 years... As we know, the Roman Empire launched a Monday’s successful invasion of Britain in AD 43 under comprehension Emperor Claudius (we also know that earlier taught you that Roman leaders - such as Julius Caesar - failed to Prasutagus was do this). Consequently, in AD 43 the Romans King of the Iceni were here to stay. One reason for Claudius’ tribe and success was that his armies didn’t try and Boudicca’s defeat every British tribe. Instead, tribal husband. The leaders were invited to make their kingdoms Iceni remained a “client-states” of Rome. This basically meant client state of that as long as these leaders lived, and followed Rome up until the Rome’s orders when asked, they could keep some death of level of power within the Roman Empire. Several Prasutagus in leaders agreed to this, including Prasutagus... around A.D. 60. Tacitus (full name, Publius Gaius Cornelius Tacitus, ca. 56 – ca. 117 CE) was a Roman Senator and an important historian of the Roman Empire. He wrote an account of the Iceni Queen Boudicca's revolt against Rome in 60-61 AD and described her like so:“In stature she was very tall, in appearance most terrifying, in the glance of her eye most fierce, and her voice was harsh; a great mass of the tawniest hair fell to her hips; around her neck was a large golden necklace; and she wore a tunic of divers colours over which a thick mantle was fastened with a brooch.” Although you will have learnt Boudicca’s story from your comprehension work, the following link will give you a few more details. Please read, watch and do the little sorting task to make sure you really understand what happened, and why, as this explains how Roman Britain began. https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zkrks cw/articles/zhn6cqt SO, you now know that Britain became ‘Roman Britain’ after Boudicca’s defeat. I would like you to discover what daily life was like for the ordinary people who ‘became roman.’ please find the answers to these questions: 1. What meals were eaten throughout the day? 2. What did people wear? 3. Who went to school? 4. What did people do for entertainment? You will need these findings for your Computing task this week, but for now you just need to make notes, although you may find it useful to collect some images. https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/cli ps/zq49wmn https://www.ducksters.com/history/a ncient_ rome/life_in_the_city. php http://www.primaryhomeworkhelp.co.u k/romans/towns.htm Righty hoo, this is the last task for our movie project and it’s an exciting one that will require you to get your creative juices flowing! You are going to make another ‘Day in the Life’ movie BUT this time you will be telling the story of a day in the life of a person living in Roman Britain. And that’s not all….you will be in the movie too….as a time traveller...see what I mean about needing creative juices? First of all you need to introduce yourself to your audience as a time traveller! You then need to find some way to show that you have travelled back in time to Roman Britain… After that, please use your findings from the previous slide to decide which facts and information about everyday life in Roman Britain to include in the movie. You then need to plan out your movie using a storyboard (use the same criteria as before, you will find this on the next slide). Once you are planned and organised, please shoot your movie and send it to me!! I can’t wait to see them all! For this week’s make you will need: ● An empty cereal box ● Scissors ● Tin foil ● Tape ● A glue stick ● A cardboard tube cut in half lengthways so it’s no longer a tube (kitchen roll sized ideally, but a loo roll will work as well and you can stick the halves together). ● A black felt tipped pen ● A sheet of white, grey or beige paper ● A cup of water .
