I am currently a year 3 teacher and English lead. I endeavour to only publish resources which have been well thought out to match curriculum objectives and hope that they will be useful to other colleagues saving them time wherever possible.

Roman artefact investigation

Roman artefact investigation

(0)
To begin our Roman topic, after discussing how we know about the past, and the difference between primary and secondary sources, children handled replica artefacts and discussed what they thought they were used for/made from. They chose a few of the artefacts and recorded their ideas on the worksheet. We then revealed what the artefacts were called and what they were for and completed the final column. They got housepoints for being close! The children then made observational drawings inside the picture frame of some of the artefacts using sketch pencils.

Pompeii comprehension

(0)
A short comprehension aimed at lower KS2 based on the famous eruption of Pompeii. I used this in a whole class guided reading session. We explored much of the vocabulary together and used talk partners and teacher modelling to answer the questions. Also available as part of two different bundles: ‘Natural Hazards’ and ‘Romans’.
Boudicca + Romans assembly/playscript
Kazza888Kazza888

Boudicca + Romans assembly/playscript

(0)
This is an assembly/short play based on the story of Boudicca which lasts approximately 15 minutes and culminates in the whole class singing the Boudicca song from ‘Horrible Histories’. Included = playscript (with character list); script to introduce and conclude play (based on Monty Python’s ‘What have the Romans ever done for us?’ sketch); link to video of Horrible Histories song and a copy of the lyrics for the song. It is possible to include all the class as you need plenty of Celts for Boudicca’s tribe and some Roman soldiers too. I have done this twice (successfully!) and the second time I had a different Boudicca in each scene due to the number of children who wanted a speaking part. Obviously, you can add/adapt scenes if you wish to. This resource is available as part of a Romans activities bundle saving you 33% on the resources overall.

Explore the history and geography of Mount Vesuvius and Pompeii using these 2 activity mats. These worksheets are useful for both topics on the Romans, or topics on volcanoes/earthquakes and reinforce tier 2/3 vocabulary such as: archaeologist, primary and secondary (sources). The first video link shows an animation of ‘A Day in Pompeii’ which has no narration just powerful imagery of what happend that day in 79AD. There is also a second link showing and describing the lost city of Pompeii. These worksheets are fully editable and are also available as part of a bundle of Romans activities which includes a full class assembly on Boudicca’s rebellion, or as part of a bundle on ‘Natural Hazards’ which contains a range of resources to support topics on volcanoes and earthquakes.
