Lessons - The Victorians

The Nuffield Primary History project developed a range of approaches and techniques for doing history with children, between and 1991 and 2009. The resources produced by the project are all real lessons which have been taught by real teachers. They include guidance on teaching and examples of children's work. Many of the lessons have been developed by teachers as part of their continuing professional development. A narrative style was used to describe the lesson and what happened. Read more

The project was developed by Jon Nichol, formerly of the School of Education, University of Exeter, Jacqui Dean, formerly School of Education and Professional Training, Leeds Metropolitan University, Ray Verrier, the late John Fines and others. Sarah Codrington coordinated the project from the Nuffield Foundation.

In 2011, the Nuffield Foundation passed the Nuffield Primary History resources to the Historical Association for continued dissemination to primary teachers.

The Romans

The

The Romans invaded other countries too. The Roman Empire covered much of Europe, north Africa, and the Middle East.
( )

The Romans lived in Rome, a city in the centre of the country of Italy

One day, some years before Jesus Christ was born, the Romans came to Britain.

(The Celts)

According to the Roman legend, was the founder of Rome. Romulus and his twin brother Remus were the sons of the God Mars. When they were very young they were abandoned by the banks of the River Tiber and left to fend for themselves. Luckily for them they were found by a she-wolf who took pity on them fed them with her milk. The boys were later found by a shepherd who raised them. The boys grew up to be very strong and clever and they decided to build a town on the spot where the Shepherd had found them. They named their town Rome.

- Caesar's first raid

In August 55 B.C. (55 years before Jesus was born) the Roman general, invaded Britain. He took with him two . After winning several battles against the Celtic tribes (Britons) in south-east England he returned to France.

- Caesar's second raid

The following summer (in 54 B.C.) Caesar came to Britain again landing at Walmer near Deal in Kent. This time he brought with him no fewer than five (30,000 foot soldiers) and 2,000 cavalrymen (horse riders). This time the Romans crossed the River Thames. After more fighting, the British tribes promised to pay tribute to Rome and were then left in peace for nearly a century.

Nearly one hundred years later, in 43 A.D. (43 years after Jesus was born), organised the final and successful Roman invasion of Britain. General Aulus Plautius led four legions with 25,000 men, plus an equal number of . They crossed the Channel in three divisions, landing at Richborough, Dover, and Lympne.

( )

The biggest battle was fought on the banks of the River Medway, close to Rochester. It went on for two days before the Celtic tribes retreated.

Many tribes tried to resist the Romans. It took about four years for the invaders to finally gain control over southern England, and another 30 years for them to conquer all of the West Country and the mountains and valleys of Wales. The battle for Yorkshire and the remainder of northern England was still underway in AD 70.

The first Roman city was Camulodunum also called Colonia Vitricencis. (We know it by the name of Colchester.) It was the seat of Roman power and governance of Brittania until sacked during the Boudiccan revolt. London was then established as a seat of governance, and only became important after the Camulodunum event.

Why the Romans came to Britain is not quite certain. Two reasons have been suggested:

Britain for helping the (now called the French) fight against the Roman general Julius Caesar.

The Romans remained in Britain from 43 AD to 410 AD. That is almost four hundred years (four centuries).

What lanuage did the Romans speak?

The Romans spoke a form of Latin known as vulgar Latin. It was quite different from the Classical Latin that we learn today.

Their homes in Italy were being attacked by fierce tribes and every soldier was needed.

The Romans called London ' '.

The River Thames was quick way to transport goods between Britain and the Continent. The Romans saw this and built the town of Londinium around the river's main crossing point.

The Romans, even today, play an important part in our lives. Many of the things we do or have originated from the Romans.

The language we used today was developed from the Romans. The Romans spoke and wrote in Latin and many of our words are based on Latin words.
Did you know that the calendar we use today is more than 2,000 years old? It was started by Julius Caesar, a Roman ruler. It is based on the movement of the earth around the sun, and so is called the 'solar calendar.' The solar calendar has 365 days a year, and 366 days every leap year, or every fourth year. The names of our months are taken from the names of Roman gods and rulers. The month 'July,' in fact, is named after Julius Caesar himself!
The laws and ways we determine what to do with someone who is accused of breaking a law came originally from the Roman Empire.
The Roman Empire was huge and included millions of people living over a large area. How did they keep track of all these people? Easy! They counted them! The Roman Empire began the practice of taking a census, or a 'count,' of all the people within its boundaries every so often. Today, many countries like ours take a census every 10 years.

The Romans also gave us:
