We’re Emperor Claudius!
Today, Year 4 put themselves in the shoes of Emperor Claudius after he successfully invaded Britain. We wrote speeches, as Claudius, telling the Roman citizens that Britain had been successfully invaded and what this meant for Rome.
When presenting our speeches, we made sure to think about our oracy (speaking and listening) skills:
- voice projection
- expression
- clarity
- pace
- volume
- body language
We heard some brilliant speeches (and some very convincing Claudius’!). I was really impressed with your children’s historical knowledge, writing and oracy skills.
Help at home: ask your child about Emperor Claudius and why the Romans wanted to invade Britain.
