TERM 3 Project

Emperors and Empires

In the Emperors and Empires project, your child will learn about the growth and decline of the Roman Republic and the Roman Empire. They will discover the absolute power of the Roman emperors and study the hierarchies of Roman society and the Roman army. They will study the first invasions of Britain in 55 and 54 BC and the Roman conquest of Britain in AD 43. They will learn about Boudicca’s rebellion, Hadrian’s Wall and the Romanisation of Britain, including how Christianity came to Britain and investigate the legacy of Roman Britain in their local area.

memorable experience - rocks, relics and rumbles

Scafell Pike had a great memorable experience today learning about fossils, rocks and relics! They were given the chance to sort and label rocks and minerals whilst handling them giving them first hand experience! They learnt about fossils and ammonites and were able to handle and look at several examples of these. They saw fossilised mammoth and shark teeth, so many ammonites and were able to handle a range of different sized animals’ vertebrae!

"I liked holding the fossils. They felt rough!" - Oliver

"I liked when we sorted the rocks." - Georgina
