Literacy - Today we are starting our brand new topic for the term – The Romans. I love this topic and I hope you will too! As it is our new topic, we are going to complete a KWL chart in our Literacy books, just like we would in school. Rule three columns in your book, by starting from the margin and marking a line at 6cm and 12cm. If you do not have a ruler, just write each heading one at a time and write some sentences underneath.
