Year 3

Year 3 will be experiencing what it was like to live in the Stone Age. Along our learning journey, the children will travel into the Stone Age, Bronze Age and the Iron Age, exploring how homes, tools and lifestyles changed through the years. We will be experiencing a Stone Age Day in school, learning the different ways they survived without modern day resources.

To support our history topic, our Love for Reading text this term will be Stone Age Boy by Satoshi Kitamura. We will follow the adventures of the boy as he accidentally travels back in time to the Stone Age!

In Science, we are exploring what rocks tell us about the way the Earth was formed by looking at different rock types. We will become mini geologists and study the properties of different rocks!

In the run-up to Christmas, we will be creating a sturdy box to store our Stone Age items in, in Design and Technology. The children will test different structure types (triangulation, ribbing, and corrugation) to see which will work best for their design. They will then create their final product just in time for the end of our term!
