The Stone Age
The stone age is a period in history that covers our earliest ancestors around 2million years ago to around 5 thousand years ago. We will be focusing on how our ancestors around 10,000 years ago survived and thrived in our local environment. We will look at how their lives changed from a hunter gatherer society to a settled farming community. We will study how innovations such as metal tools and domesticating plants and animals transformed their lives. We will also look at the way our ancestors changed the world around them.

The Roman Empire
The Roman empire started off with just the city of Rome around 2700 years ago (or 753BCE) As it expanded over hundreds of years the people and land that it conquered were given the chance to become Roman. Anyone who wouldn’t would be either be killed or sold into slavery-so what would you choose?.

Mosaics are pictures and patterns made up of thousands of tiny coloured clay tiles. They were often used on walls and floors in Roman temples, baths and palaces. Wealthy Romans would decorate their villas (homes) with beautiful ornate mosaics. Clay tiles or tesserae would be carefully cut and placed on sticky plaster. Because they were made of hard coloured clay, that was baked hard as stone, they have survived for thousands of years. Many ancient Roman mosaics have been discovered in Britain (some here in Nottinghamshire)
The mosaics give historians clues about what Roman life was like from the fashions that the citizens wore to the food they ate. Some mosaics discovered in the city of Pompeii were even used in fast food restaurants to show customers what was in the menu.
You can have a go at making your own mosaic using small squares of paper and some glue. Keep your design simple, leave a gap between the tiles and make sure that they tesselate or fit together. Have fun

The Roman Army
The Romans had a strong, well trained, professional army (professional means paid-most people at the time had other jobs rather than being in the army) The soldiers were well equipped and worked together as a team this meant that it could overcome much better fighters. There were two types of Roman Soldier, a legionary, who had to be a citizen of Rome and an auxiliary, who was often a specialized soldier (such as an archer or a cavalryman) from part of the Roman empire.
The army was arranged into smaller groups controlled by a centurion . This allowed the army to be controlled by its generals even in a big, confusing battle.
Roman soldiers were also trained in building techniques so if they needed to cross a river they could build a bridge to carry on (in 55bc Roman soldiers built a 300 foot bridge across the Rhine river in Germany in just 10 days) . They also used a variety of mechanical weapons such as catapults to overpower any city walls.

Roman Gods
The Romans believed in many gods, they were polytheistic-poly means many (Christians, Jews and Muslims believe in one God, they are monotheistic-mono means one)
The Pantheon of the gods or the collection of the gods is similar to the Greek gods. Each god has his or her own story, powers and worshippers. Jupiter was the King of the gods and is the father of many of them. Juno was the wife of Jupiter the goddess of women and was seen as a protector.
People would worship them in temples and have small statues of them at home to protect themselves and their family. Gifts or sacrifices would be given to a particular god to ask for help.
