![]() ![]() But alas, it was not to be.įirst, every other page or so would have the following across the top: However, this book had a lot of flaws which detracted from the fact that it could have been a very interesting book on the topic. I've always enjoyed learning about the Roman civilization, so when I saw this book at the library, I picked it up to read for myself - I like learning in a fun, easy, non-intensive way. The book could easily form the basis for a history six week scheme of work too. Years 4 5 and 6 will also find it of interest. ![]() Year 3 good readers will be able to access this with no trouble, and others in earlier years will be fine with assistance. ![]() Questions include: Did Roman Children go to school? What did Roman’s do for fun? And my favourite, Did the Romans believe in God? With the lovely subheading of ‘What did the Gods do all day?’ There isn’t much sensationalism of the ‘Horrible Histories’ found here, but it does offer a very up to date take on the issue, with Internet links included to aid with further research. It has some really interesting takes on what went on and has a simple style that is very accessible. The book is focused around lots of questions that could have been put together by a class working out what they would like to learn as a topic progresses. This book is part of the ‘Usborne Starting Point History’ series and is an absolute must for anyone studying the Romans – and is very useful to top up teacher knowledge too! ![]()
