Objectives

Children should learn:

about the results of Boudica's revolt
to appreciate that people have points of view about events in the past

Activities

Outcomes

Children:

Discuss with the children the immediate consequences of the revolt for the Celts and the Romans and record these on a big piece of paper. Also discuss the longer-term impact of the revolt on Britain.

Ask the children to think about how a Celtic or Roman survivor of the revolt might feel. Provide them with a suitable sentence-starter and ask them to write about the results of the revolt from the point of view of either a Celt or a Roman. Discuss with the children why people might view the revolt differently.

suggest consequences of Boudica's revolt
select information to show how a Roman or a Celt would have perceived the revolt

Points to note

It is important to emphasise that the population of Britain did not become Romans, but that the Celts adopted Roman lifestyles. Many Celts living far away from the towns retained their old lifestyles throughout the Roman period.
