This
site was initially created as part of the RETICULUM PROJECT,
a partnership between the Museum of Antiquities, based at
The University of Newcastle upon Tyne, and the First Schools
of Northumberland.
Through
the use of information technology and the resources of the
Museum, we have developed learning resources that focus on
life in northern England during the Roman period. These are
aimed primarily at children in Key Stage 2 (age 7-11) but the
emphasis on accuracy of information as well as the informal
style is designed to appeal to a wider audience. This site
is a reflection of the work of the children who took part in
the Project.
‘This
Way to the Northern Frontier: Tribes and Romans in Northern
Britain’ is an accompanying pack for teachers.
It contains teaching modules complete with activity ideas,
resource sheets and support materials. A copy of the
complete full-colour printed pack,
which includes a CD ROM version of the website, is available from the
Museum of Antiquities, priced £25.00. Alternatively see below
to access the on-line version of the pack.
