A KS1 history lesson which teaches children about how Celts lived. The Celts were alive prior to 0 so this lesson takes children back in time to see how the Celts lived. The Celts mainly lived in small settlements in homes which were called roundhouses. The outside of the Celts’ homes were made from stone or wood depending on where in the UK they lived.
