Caesar’s Two Invasions of Britain | UKS2 History | 10 Illustrated Printables
How successful was Julius Caesar in Britain? Help pupils investigate his invasions of 55 and 54 BCE through 10 illustrated A4 printables that develop historical knowledge, reading comprehension and evidence-based reasoning.
This black-and-white PDF pack contains one At a Glance reference sheet and nine activity sheets. Pupils read accounts, sequence events, compare the expeditions and question what the evidence can—and cannot—tell us.
What’s included?
- Caesar’s Invasions At a Glance – an illustrated overview of the people, events and key vocabulary.
- The First Invasion: 55 BCE – reading and comprehension questions.
- The Second Invasion: 54 BCE – reading and response activities.
- Key Words and Events – vocabulary matching and event sequencing.
- Comparing the Two Invasions – use an evidence table to compare forces and outcomes.
- What Do the Numbers Tell Us? – calculations, comparisons and the limits of numerical evidence.
- What Happened First? – an illustrated sequencing task.
- How Reliable Is Caesar’s Account? – explore viewpoint, purpose and source reliability.
- A Coin, an Elephant and Evidence – distinguish between evidence, interpretation and a later story.
- How Successful Was Caesar? – use an evidence bank, sentence starters and a self-check to write a balanced verdict.
More than factual recall: pupils explain their reasoning, support judgements with evidence and consider different interpretations.
Clear headings, detailed line illustrations, structured questions and writing spaces support classroom use. Use the pack across a sequence of lessons or select individual sheets for consolidation, discussion and independent work.
