‘The Romans in Britain’ by Judith Nicholls

Year 4 Autumn 1 Learning Challenge
The Romans gave us aqueducts
Fine buildings and straight roads
Where all those Roman legionaries
Marched with heavy loads

They gave us central heating
Good laws, a peaceful home
Then after just four centuries
They shuffled back to Rome
