Term 1

Year 3 are kick starting the year with an incredible enquiry into the lives of people living in the Stone Age to the Iron Age. We will be using the books 'The Stone Age Boy' to help us introduce targets into our writing to make it engaging for our readers. 

In order to answer our enquiry question of 'What can we learn from Stone Age, Bronze Age, Iron Age?', we will be explore what life was like for people living throughout these years to compare what was the same and what changed. 

Keep checking out our webpage to see all of our fabulous work and find our the answer to our enquiry question!

Being Writers - Instructions

Today, we explored our new text type - intstructions. We had to tell Mrs Edwards how to make a jam sandwich and we realised how messy this can be if there are not clear instructions. We then had to follow a bad set and a good set of instructions to make a paper plane, We thought about what makes successful instructions.

Being Theologians - Trip to St Stephen's Church

This morning, we had a fantastic trip to St Stephen's Church. We celebrated harvest festival before exploring the key features of a church. We really enjoyed our time here.

Being writers - Poetry day!

Yesterday, we had a fantastic day exploring many different poems. We explored a poem called 'Puddles' and had a go at creating our own poems based on this. We also had a go at performing this.

Being Geographers - Map work

This week, we have been working on our maps skills during our enquiry lessons. We looked at identifying capital cities as well as different parts of the UK.

Being Mathematicians - Representations

In maths this week, we have been exploring different representations. These have been a mixture of bar models, cherry models and number lines. We are enjoying using them to support our maths understanding.

Being Historians - Trip to Cheddar Gorge
Today, we had a fantastic trip to Cheddar Gorge. As part of our trip, we got to explore both incredible caves, take a trip through pre-history and even met a ‘Stone Age’ person called Arht who showed us how the Stone Age people lived, hunted and started fires!

Being Historians- Engage

To kick start our learning about our new enquiry- what can we learn from how the stone, bronze and iron ages lived? we tried out three stone age activities. We learnt how to weave using a small loom and paper strips, went outside into the secret forest and made shelters out of natural materials and handled flint whilst guessing what they could have been used for during the stone, bronze and iron ages. We can't wait to find out more about this time period and how these people used to live!
