Teachers will usually select one of Units 6A 'A Roman case study', 6B 'An Anglo-Saxon case study' and 6C 'A Viking case study'. All three units introduce children to ideas of invasion and settlement, using identical introductory activities.
This case study encourages the use of Roman sites and artefacts and will be a good choice for schools with easy access to a Roman settlement site.
Children build on their work in key stage 1, particularly using pictures and written sources to find out about the past. The visit to an archaeological site will provide a foundation for further consideration of what can be learned from archaelogical remains, as in Units 10 and 16. The focus on emigration and settlement is developed further in Unit 13.
