Roman Conquest: Iceni Revolt trip

3rd June 2025

In Year 3 our history unit is ‘Emperors and Empires’, focussing on the Romans. As part of our history learning, we went on a Roman Conquest: Iceni Revolt trip to The Time and Tide Museum. During the day, we experienced what is was like to be a Roman soldier. We were shown and learnt about different weapons and armour that would’ve been worn. We got to practise being a soldier and use swords and shields. We also learnt what it was like for slaves during the Roman Empire and explored different items that would’ve been used. We worked together with the Iceni tribe to fight against the Romans. We also made torcs and learnt about how the Iceni prepared for battle with the Romans. It was an excellent day and we had a lot of fun!
