Activities in this teaching pack include display posters to identify and describe how dwellings were constructed and used during the Iron Age, a shared reading text to explain how Iron Age tribes constructed and used dwellings in the past and a set of cards to sequence a set of instructions about how to construct a dwelling in the Iron Age.

The interactive presentation can be used to explore how to write a set of instructions explaining how to construct an Iron Age roundhouse in the past.

This lesson is part of a history scheme of work to get the children to investigate how Britain developed and changed during the Iron Age by exploring how historians find out about the past using primary sources including archaeology. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
