This week we started our new topic Romans and Caledonians. We have been working with a partner to write down what we already know about Romans and what we would like to learn. We have already learned what the term BC means and made a time line from when the Romans came to Britain to 2014. We are looking forward to finding out lots more information!
Please find our new term plan below.
