During your time in Year 3, we cover a variety of topics. In the Autumn term we look at the Stone Age to the Iron Age. This involoves  researching Skara Brae, houses, clothing and becoming Hunter Gatherers!  The Iron Age involves learning about Stonehenge, round houses and the Druids.

During the Spring Term we study all things Egyptian, including farming, living and the afterlife. We look at the farming seasons and how the farmers got water from the Nile to the fields. We research how important the Nile was to the survival of the Egyptian people. When researching the afterlife we make a death mask in the style of the famous Tutankhamen. We often visit the Oriental Museum in Durham and dress up Egyptian style, do craft work and handle Egyptian artifacts.  Our learning will be brought to life through hands on experiences and cross curricular links.

In the Summer term we look at the Roman occupation of Britain. We look at the things that the Romans brought to England that changed it forever. We investigate how they integrated themselves into Celtic society. We also try and arrange a trip to a Roman site to see what Roman architecture was like.
