Activities in this teaching pack include display posters to describe the location of Hadrian’s Wall in Great Britain, a shared reading text about the history behind the building and function of Hadrian’s Wall and a set of cards to sequence a set of instructions about how to build and fortify Hadrian’s Wall to protect the Romans from attack.

The interactive presentation gets the children to explore how to compose a set of instructions for the Romans to follow to build and fortify Hadrian’s Wall.

This lesson is part of an English scheme of work to get the children to identify and model how to compose sets of instructions for Romans to follow when expanding their empire and civilization around the world. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
