-Key dates from Ancient Roman times

-Important individuals (including Julius Caesar, Tarquin the Proud, the Emperor Augustus)

-How Rome was ruled (including the roles of senators and plebians)

-Myths and legends  (with a focus on Romulus and Remus)

-Life in Ancient Rome

-The Roman Invasion of Britain

-Roman inventions and innovations

Autumn Term

In art, year 4 made Greek pottery. The children made their pots using clay, painted them and decorated them with Greek patterns. 

In literacy, the children learnt about the bus journey of Rosa Park. They acted out scenes from the bus journey to help write a recount. 

This term in science we learnt about electricity. The children were able to build their own circuits to light up a bulb with switches. 

In year 4, we have been learning about 'Volcanoes and Earthquakes'. We used an application called 'Digimaps' to have a look at the earth's tectonic plates.
