What did the Romans leave behind?

  • The Romans came to Britain nearly 2,000 years ago. They invaded in 43AD, led by Emperor Claudius, and stayed for almost 400 years! They were one of the most powerful empires in history.
  • Roman soldiers were very well trained and wore strong armour. They marched in groups called legions, following strict orders from their commanders. A Roman soldier, called a legionary, carried a curved shield, a short sword called agladius, and wore metal armour.
  • The Romans built straight roads and towns with stone buildings. Many of our roads today still follow the same paths the Romans made. They also built aqueducts to carry water and clever heating systems called hypocausts.
  • The Romans brought new things to Britain. This included central heating (hypocausts), toilets, Roman numerals, and even some foods like grapes, olives, apples and cherries.

Reading

Our school uses Accelerated Reader to support children to access texts that are appropriately challenging and engaging. As part of our school home learning expectations, children should read 5 times a week (15 minutes for Year 3 and 4; 20 minutes for Year 5 and 6). This is in addition to regular independent reading at school.  Children are also required to complete Accelerated Reader quizzes when they finish books. Your child’s class teacher regularly checks Accelerated Reader and can see the books that children read. Children also complete a simple reading log so that texts which do not have Accelerated Reader quizzes are recorded. This replaces the need for children to fill in traditional reading diaries every time they read, ensures children are motivated and engaged, and gives the teacher helpful information about their reading habits and choices.  On top of this, each child in Key Stage Two has access to 1000 e-books through MYON.
