This engrossing CGP Discover & Learn book is a superb way for children in Years 3 and 4 (ages 7-9) to understand and engage with the period of history when the Roman Empire extended into Britain. Each topic is presented on a full-colour double-page spread, with timelines, photos and illustrations to help bring the era to life. It’s written in a pupil-friendly style, with clear headings to break up the text and questions to get children thinking about the way people lived at the time. A matching CGP Activity Book is also available - see 9781782941989. Review: Cheap and Useful Resource - Ordered this from desertcart UK, as I teach at an international school in Malaysia. The book is fantastic in terms of displaying information. I have used it to supplement the current history book which I despise. My students often borrow it to look at the pictures and timelines. Unfortunately it may not be relevant to most American schools :( Review: From invasion to retreat - 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.

Großartig
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.

... curriculum it seems and found it very informative and easy to get through at a year 3 level
We bought another book from this series in a previous school term as they are aligned with the national curriculum it seems and found it very informative and easy to get through at a year 3 level. We came back for this one when his topic changed this term and again find this book very well written and full of very good and interesting information laid out in a way that appeals to my 8 year which has helped a lot with retention of the information.
