Year 3

 

 Welcome to Year 3!

 

 

Our current theme is The Stone Age, Bronze Age and Iron Age!

 

This term, our year group will be travelling back in time to explore one of the most fascinating periods in human history – the Stone Age through to the Iron Age. Our learning journey will take us from the early hunter-gatherer communities of the Stone Age, through the development of tools and farming in the Bronze Age, and finally to the more advanced societies of the Iron Age. Along the way, we’ll be discovering how life changed over time, what people ate, where they lived, and how they organised their communities.

A key focus of our topic will be Stonehenge – one of the most iconic and mysterious monuments from prehistoric Britain. We will investigate its historical significance, discuss the theories behind its construction, and explore what it can tell us about life during that time. In art, we will be using Stonehenge as inspiration, learning to appreciate its beauty and form through painting.
