Spring 2 - Tribal Tales

Hello Maples,

Let’s travel back to prehistoric times!

This half-term we’re going to find a prehistoric site in our local area by studying maps and researching online. Through our research, we’ll learn about the Stone Age, the Bronze Age and the Iron Age. What were people’s daily lives like and what epic battles did they fight? Using paints and pastels we’ll be designing Stone Age cave markings. As we learn about the Bronze Age, we’ll discover monuments and investigate their shadows. In science, we’ll plant grains and learn about plant life cycles. In English, we will be focusing on explanation texts and in maths we will be looking at length and perimeter and fractions. Then, we’ll travel to the Iron Age to learn about hill forts and the properties of iron. We will round this amazing topic off by visiting Beaumanor Hall for our Year 3 Residential!

Please see attached below our curriculum map, knowledge organisers, spelling overview and topic homework for this upcoming half-term.
