We have had an amazing week in Year 3 by kickstarting our new History topic, 'The Stone Age'. We have been reading 'Stone Age Boy' and the children have loved learning about this enthralling and entertaining story. Make sure to ask your child what they have learnt about Stone Age life from this story, including what Stone Age people wore, ate and did to survive.
We also had our 'WOW Starter' afternoons where we learnt about Stone Age animals, made cave paintings, explored rocks and stones and even carved some Stone Age tools out of soap. We had an amazing and fun afternoon and we are all ready excited to start learning more about Stone Age life.
Please check the home learning for the 'Topic' homework to be done over the course of the whole half term. We would love to see what you create at home and to show it off in school.
