Finding out about the Romans for Key Stage 1 in SE England

I received an email about taking a Year 3 group around London on a Roman London Walk.

This is what I replied.

It seems to me to be quite young, and, if you had the option I, personally, would suggest going to St Albans where the remains of Roman Verulamium provide a great introduction to the Romans. There is a the Roman Theatre, a great small Roman Museum, and a big park with Roman walls, and remains of a Roman gate. Kids could run around, enjoy the outside and get an idea of the archaeology of a Roman town.

If I were to do it in London I'd link in with visit to the Museum of London and would have a short walk as follows:

1. Visit the Site of the Roman Amphitheatre in the Guildhall Yard

2. Go into the Art Gallery to see the remain of the Roman Amphitheatre

3. Walk along Gresham Street where recent excavations have revealed Water Wheel, Roman Temple, Roman Houses, and round houses of 'Celtic' style .

4. Noble Street - to see remains of Roman Fort

5. Fort Gate - if available see remains of Roman Gate underground

6. Barbican - look at Roman Wall, Medieval Bastions

7. Visit Museum of London Roman Galleries
