Invasion and Settlement

Invasion and Settlement Thread

By the end of KS2, we want children to understand that:

  • That the term invasion refers to people forcefully entering someone else’s land
  • That the term settlement refers to people making a new home and community in a place
  • Throughout history, groups have invaded and settled in new areas for different reasons
  • Invasions can lead to a change in power and this can change how people live and their culture
  • Settlements can grow into towns and cities over time
