In UKS2, we begun our new History topic by being given a mosaic to piece back together, which would give us clues as to which period of History we were going to be exploring.  We used the clues in the source to work out that it was the Romans.  We then became History detectives to complete our enquiry maps about what we could infer from the source of evidence.  We had some super hypotheses:

"I think the man with the red coming out his helmet is in charge because his uniform looks grander than the others"

"Perhaps they are about to fight an enemy and try and conquer their land"

"It is possibly Britain they are trying to invade because they would have had to travel by boat across the water from Italy"

"I know the Romans had a big empire, so maybe this was what they did to make it so big"
