Learning Resources

We are currently developing a range of free, downloadable PDF resources, suitable for P3-P7 (Y2-Y6) that can be used in the classroom, as part of Roman studies project work or for children working from home.

We always welcome direct contact from schools undertaking Roman history topics, local history projects and those that want to discover more about archaeology, museums, galleries, exhibitions, interpretation and research.

An online resource kit, freely accessible for teachers and students can be found in the Museums for Digital Learning Platform. The kit contains 12 different activities about the Romans, Roman Scotland and Trimontium as well as a supporting sheet for teachers. Suitable for students of various ages :

A Roman dance workshop divided in bite-size videos co-created with UPMO can be found HERE.
