Supporting the history curriculum at Key Stage 2 and beyond, this stunning super jumbo sized poster helps pupils to understand the sequence of events that have shaped Britain and to view contemporary events and concerns in a wider perspective. Covering hundreds of thousands of years of history, from the Stone Age to the present, the poster will be a striking addition to your classroom resources. Information is divided into the sections: storyline; law and war; who, what & when; the shaping of our lives.

The 'Constellations' poster features detailed information under the headings: origins; seasons in the sky; variable stars; celestial sphere; North celestial pole; circumpolar stars; magnitude; light pollution; ecliptic; Milky Way. This text is arranged around a central diagram of labelled constellations in the Northern Sky and a table at the foot of the poster which lists the Latin and English names of constellations, from Orion the Hunter to Cassiopeia.

This fun, colourful poster introduces numbers to 10, using numbers, words, diagrams and pictures. For example, the number four is illustrated by its name, the digit 4, a small diagram of four squares and an image of four flowers. This helps children to become familiar with numbers in all their forms, and also acts as a stimulus for matching and counting activities.

The 'Roman Britain' poster features a central timeline which spans from AD 43 - AD 410. Maps indicate the area of the Roman Empire in the 1st and 2nd centuries, and the invasion of Britain at the end of the Roman Empire. Information is organised into the topics: work and trade; language; the Pax Romana; entertainment; religion; evidence; roads; towns; houses and home life; end of the empire. Photographs of the Roman baths at Bath and Hadrian's Wall help children to understand the legacy of Roman Britain, whilst images of a Cirencester mosaic and a Latin inscription on a tomb in York provide exciting evidence of the period.
