Term 2

Year 3 are continuing this term with a debate answering our enquiry question of 'What can we learn from Stone Age, Bronze Age, Iron Age?' Alongside this, we will be creating our very own cave art. After that, we will be jumping into our second enquiry, answering our enquiry question- 'How do we live a healthy life?'

Within this enquiry, we will be scientists exploring the food groups and the importance of understanding the nutrition food brings to the body. We will also be engineers and make a nutrious meal incorporating all of the food groups.

We will continue reading our book 'Georges marvellous medicine' and use this to introduce targets into our writing to make it engaging for our readers.

Being Historians - Class Debate

To end our enquiry- ' What can we learn from the Stone, Bronze and Iron Age?' We had a class debate. We used our debating skills from our innovation to debate which era we could learn the most from. We split up into three groups, each representing either the Stone, Bronze or Iron Age and we used our oracy skills to build upon, agree and challenge eachother's ideas. In the end we had a vote to decide which era we could learn the most from and it was decided that Iron Age was the era that we learnt the most from. This was because they learnt how to use metal to make stronger weapons and tools.

Being Artists- Cave Painting

We had our classroom turned into a Stone Age cave so we could practice our painting just like they would have done in the Stone Age. We picked natural items from outside including rocks, sticks and leaves and we used them to paint Stone Age animals and motifs on 'cave walls'. We also got messy and used our handprints as that was a common feature in Stone Age art. We loved creating our Stone Age art and painting our animals!

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.

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 Poets- National Poetry Day

We celebrated Poetry day as a whole school, with the theme being Play! We started off our learning thinking about what play means to us. We then explored and a read a range of poems by different poets, including looking at wordplay and silly words! Then, we explored a year group poem- 'puddles.' We practiced reading it aloud and then we added actions. It was great to explore a range of poems and have fun while doing it!

Being Historians- Trip to Cheddar Gorge

To kickstart our understanding of the Stone, Bronze and Iron age, 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!
