Secrets of the Stone Age
Secrets of the Stone Age
Welcome back to Term 2! This term, our cross-curricular Learning Journey is titled Secrets of the Stone Age, where pupils will step back in time to uncover the wonders of prehistory. Throughout the term, children will trace the sweeping changes across ancient civilisations, exploring how human technology and daily life dramatically evolved from the Stone Age through to the Bronze Age and Iron Age.
Our historical discoveries will weave directly into our creative art lessons, where pupils will explore the fascinating world of prehistoric cave art. Children will experiment with different mark-making techniques, using natural materials such as charcoal, earth pigments, and twigs to recreate the methods and textures used by early human artists.
In Science, our young scientists will delve into human biology by investigating the skeleton and its core functions, discovering how bones provide essential support, protection, and movement. Meanwhile, in Computing, pupils will explore digital media and basic animation techniques to bring their own moving pictures to life.
Beyond the core subject topics, our personal and social development lessons in PSHE will focus on the theme "Celebrating Differences," encouraging children to value individuality, practice empathy, and foster an inclusive school environment. Finally, physical education will take place on Wednesdays and Thursdays, where pupils will develop agility, core strength, and teamwork skills through Gymnastics and Tag Rugby.

READING
READING
Reading is so important. Please read with your child every day.
Your child needs to feel this is a good, warm experience - do read to them as well as listening to their reading, so they can relax and enjoy.
Also, talk about the book as much as you can - offer ideas, discuss, challenge, compare what happens in the book to things in daily life... make them think!
We understand that starting a new term can be tiring and if this is the case, please feel free to be the one doing the reading to your child!
SPELLING
SPELLING
The children will have Spelling shed activities related to their current words we are learning in class. We encourage playing the games and challenges to further support them with this.
MATHS
MATHS
In year 3 we need to know the 2, 5, 10, 3, 4 and 8 times tables. They will have a test on all times tables in year 4.
You can help them practise, practise, practise!
Short bursts are best, a variety of games works better than the same thing over and over. TTRS is a brilliant resource to support this.
Things the children have learned that will help:
Multiplication is repeated addition.
Division is the inverse (opposite) of multiplication.
If you know the counting pattern, you know the times table - i.e., if you can count in fives, use this to say the five times table!
