Activities in this teaching pack include a shared reading text to identify and describe how people in the Iron Age defended their settlements and attacked other communities in the past and a set of cards to sort a set of instructions into the correct order to show how Iron Age warriors could defend against an invasion by Romans.

The interactive presentation can be used to explore how to write a set of instructions about how to defeat a Roman invasion of Britain during the Iron Age.

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.
