Autumn Term 1: Finding out from Fossils

Finding out from fossils

Year three zooms into the past with a Pebble in their Pocket as they discover how fossils and rocks were formed in science and start to discover what makes a successful community. Through learning about the early communities in the stone age children consider the important features of a community, including their geographical locations linking them to where main cities int eh UK are now.  Using charcoal in art we create the drama of life in the stone age through our own cave creations. We create our own simple music, learning notation on glockenspiel's and singing  a final piece in the form of reggae music a form that developed out of changing communities. Finally like the stone age people of the past, year 3 begin to solve problems and logic through the use of scratch in computing.
