Romans on the Don Teachers Pack
These pages tell the story of what life was like in the Doncaster region before and after the Romans arrived almost 2,000 years ago.
Here you will find information on what has been discovered about before the Romans, known as ‘the Iron Age’, as well as during the Roman period. These pages concentrate on ten specific locations throughout the Borough. These are the sites of archaeological excavations carried out since 1986 in advance of aggregates quarries. Finds include a Roman bath house, timber round houses, pottery kilns and much more.
Go to the links in the left hand menu to explore the Romans on the Don.
This section of the website is for teachers of Key Stage 2 History. There is a teachers pack of classroom activities linked to background information on Archaeology, the Iron Age, the Romans and four of Doncaster's Iron Age and Roman archaeological sites. These resources are designed to aid the teaching of Romans, historical interpretation and historical enquiry.
They also key into numeracy, literacy and citizenship.
The Teachers pack can be accessed via the link in the left hand menu.
Please find below a downloadable comic of adventures, jokes, puzzles and strange facts for you to read on screen or print out.
