Coordination Group Publications Ltd (CGP) KS2 Discover & Learn: History - Romans in Britain Study Book, Year 3 & 4

We have quite a collection of children’s books about Rome and Romans in Britain, given dad’s interest in the topic and having visited a number of sites over the past decade (Bath, St Albans, Hadrian’s Wall, Dover castle).Given what we have available I was less keen to buy this book compared to the other books in the excellent series. Even so, my daughter keeps going through these books at a rapid pace and with a lot of enthusiasm. So I thought it a good idea to also get her this one and complete the series, that without doubt will be picked up by her younger brother in a few years time.She loves to read the books throroughtly just for fun and soak up all the information and facts, that she then later uses in discussion with us and to put things in perspective. Obviously these discussions are triggered by the various questions that can be found on each page to help children engage.These books are very colourful and beautifully illustrated with pictures and art on every page. The text is very clear and straightforward, yet informative and highly educational. Also there are very helpful time lines and maps.Topics that are being addressed in this book are some of the emperors that played a role, Boudicca of course, but also religion, road building the Roman retreat ect. It’s quite complete really.

Die Aufmachung des Schulbuchs ist sehr gut. Es ist interessant gestaltet, das Englisch ist nicht zu schwer, sodass die Lektüre auch deutschen Schülern Spaß macht. Wirklich empfehlenswert.

didn't realise you had to buy the lesson books to complete the tasks so I am waiting to receive them

Great KS2 Year 3 & 4 book on the Romans, so after Britain survived the Stone, Bronze, Iron Age and various Viking invasions, then along came the Romans! This book covers everything from introduction of trading, roads, armies, life as a Roman including home and religion. Then concludes with them going back and retreating!Well recommended book on them pesky Italians who taught us so much!If you found this review useful then please click the helpful button below, and be sure to check out our other reviews of products you may also consider purchasing from Amazon.
