Ancient Britain & Stonehenge

Today in history, we started learning about ancient Britain. The kids enjoyed hearing stories about the Angles, Saxons, and Britons. They listened to a story about King Arthur and remembered the movies "The Sword in the Stone" and "Quest for Camelot". We had a great discussion about the differences in the Roman's attire when they invaded Britain verses the Briton's attire (the Romans were MUCH more advanced and had armor, but the Britons did not). We looked at pictures of what the Briton's huts might have looked like, as well as their attire vs. that of the Romans. We listened to an audio recording the kids really enjoyed that told more about what times were like then.  The culminating activity was making Stonehenge with Play-doh.  The kids REALLY enjoyed that!!!
