Free Year 4 History Worksheets for Teachers

Invaders and settlers dominate Year 4 history in most schools: the Romans arrive, and the Anglo-Saxons and Scots follow. These Year 4 history worksheets cover both units — the Roman Empire and its impact on Britain, and Britain's settlement by Anglo-Saxons and Scots.

Both are named studies in the Key Stage 2 history programme of study of the England National Curriculum. The worksheets build the skills that thread through KS2 history: placing events on a timeline, weighing why people invaded and settled, and using evidence to describe everyday life. Both units also lend themselves to local study links, from Roman roads to Saxon place names.

Use them after a teaching sequence to consolidate knowledge, as an assessment at the end of the unit, or as substantial cover work during a topic. The downloads are free. If your medium-term plan emphasises Boudica, Hadrian's Wall or your local Roman site, open the worksheet in Chalkie and regenerate it around that focus — the free plan is enough.
