From NORFOLK Museums and Archaeology Service. Lots of activities outlined for study of Ancient Rome topic!

Two contrasting texts written about Boudicca and a timeline with her in. Lesson Plan is included. The texts are good to look at bias. One group of children can draw Boudicca from the details in one, one group the other and the results compared. A song about Boudicca is also included for plenary / fun at the end of the lesson.

Powerpoint showing several photos of Roman shields that I made leading into an activity where children design their own Roman shield based on certain criteria. (UPDATE: Mac / ipad Keynote included.) A rough weekly plan is also included The children went on to design their own Roman Shields and then made then with cardboard and painted them. Perfect for giving them ideas! UPDATE: I have now included a completely unique animated Roman timeline I made that can be included in your own presentations as I have converted to movie format. UPDATE: An excellent video included to do with tactics used in Roman times

2018 Update. These resources were originally based on a specific lesson observation, I have since included a massive amount of extras. I have included a presentation file in BOTH Mac (Keynote) and Windows (Powerpoints) formats, this particular lesson was used in an observation highly sucessfully (outstanding) during my performance management 2 years ago. UPDATE: I have re-uploaded the ‘mummification pictures’ in pdf format as well as the original microsoft word format due to review comments, photos are now viewable in several formats.

A range of worksheets I designed for children to find out about the best selling toys in the last 50 years and how they have changed over time. I have also included the Keynote I used in quicktime format so it will work on your PC. One of the activities the children had to do was to identify key selling points of toys and which market they were aimed at, this was wonderful to see their responses.

From a few years ago with links for Art. Hope this helps someone out.

Weekly plan I used in year 3 for Ancient Egypt.

I created this quiz for the children when they got back from the EXCELLENT exhibit at Bolton Museum. The questions were obviously pre-prepared and prompts given during the trip activities for a 'memory challenge' when they returned!
