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 13th 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 made? 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.
1) The Romans arrived in Britain in 55 BC. The Roman Army had been fighting in Gaul (France) and the Britons had been helping the Gauls in an effort to defeat the Romans. The leader of the Roman Army in Gaul, Julius Caesar, decided that he had to teach the Britons a lesson for helping the Gauls – hence his invasion.
2) They may have lived ages and ages ago but they invented loads of things we still use today. They invented concrete, newspapers, books, calendars and central heating! They also built military structures such as forts and walls (including Hadrian’s Wall which is an ancient Roman defence wall near the border with Scotland)to engineering innovations like baths and aqueducts, the most obvious impact of the Romans that can still be seen today is their buildings. Most buildings in Iron Age Britain were made of timber and were often round in form.

1)At first all of the Roman soldiers came from Rome, but they then used the soldiers of countries as far away as the middle east and Africa and also the ones they conquered. Rome is in what is now known as Italy, but lots of other nationalities came to Rome because it was a wealthy city.

3) I would like to know about:
-If THEY ever got conquered

1. The Romans arrived in AD43 (over 2000 years ago) and they wanted Britain’s precious metals (gold and iron). They came from Rome.
2. They built sewage systems and brick stone houses with central heating. They brought rabbits and stingy nettles to Britain and build temples for their Gods and later brought Christianity (believe in one God) to Britain. The Romans also introduced writing and money.
I would like to learn about Roman school, what their favourite foods were and how they dressed.
1)Romans came from Rome (the capital of Italy) mostly but some came from over country including the Middle East and Africa. We know this because Emperor Claudius brought elephants with his troops and there was now wild life documentary so an elephant seemed like an animal from an over planet. There is also evidence with African potteries being used in what is known Scotland. This is an over indicator that the Roman army was combined by more than one nationality. In 55 BC the Roman army invaded Britain and stayed there for 400 years.
2) You might think that they invented lot of stuff but they didn’t invent more thing than us. They might have lived years and years ago but they still made lots of things like the calendar that we now use. In Rome we didn’t have the English numbers instead we had Roman numerals. They were made back in the 800 and 900 BC.They were for counting, telling the time, recording and to help list order.There are 7 basic letters in the Roman numerals, I,V,X,L,C,D and M. The romans also made concrete. Romans made concrete by mixing volcanic ash with lime and seawater to make a mortar. One last thing is underfloor heating.
