Welcome back! We hope you all had a fantastic Easter break and are ready for our final term in Y4!
To start our Summer term, we will be looking at what the Romans did for us. This half term, our focus is history. We will build up our knowledge about the Roman empire and how the empire spread through Europe and into Britain. We will also look at life in the Roman army, and how the Celts and other tribes tried to stand up against the Romans.
Our class novel to start the half term is called “Romans on the Rampage”. We will use this novel as a basis for our reading learning this term.
