Our first topic in Year 4 will be Ancient Rome and Roman Britain!

When the Romans invaded Britain they brought many brilliant ideas with them. The Romans stayed here for over 400 years and we will be learning about the impact they had on Britain, and the world.

This is a very exciting topic about the beginning of how England came to be the country we know today.

Each week you will have Curriculum homework which links to our topic posted on Google Classroom. You will be able to use the skills and knowledge from the homework in our lessons!

Homework will commence from Monday 12th September.

Before then, I would like you to find out more about the Romans. Use a child-friendly search engine such as Kiddle to answer the following questions as a comment below:

1.) Where did the Romans come from and when did they arrive in England?

2.) Do you know any interesting things that the Romans created/invented? If not, find 3 things the Romans built in England.

3.) What would like to learn about during our Romans topic?

Well done for your first week back Year 4! You have settled in really well and I am very excited to learn all about the Ancient Romans with you :).

Mr. Kersys.
