Autumn 1
Wednesday 4th September 2024 - Friday 25th October 2024
Sticks and Stones
(The Stone Age to Iron Age)
Autumn 1
Sticks and Stones
This is a history topic. We will be learning about changes from the Stone Age to the Iron Age. To begin this topic, the first question we will ask ourselves is… ‘How do we know about Britain so long ago?’ This period is called prehistory so how do we know what it was like if there aren’t any books or photographs? We will look at Stonehenge, Skara Brae, Lascaux Caves and other evidence such as cave paintings to help us. We will discover developments in food and cooking and learn about the change from hunting and gathering to farming. We will consider why people began living in communities.
Learning in other subjects
In English, our core texts are 'Stone Age Boy' by Satoshi Kitamura and 'Secrets of the Stone Age' by Nick Manning.
In mathematics, we will be using Power Maths to improve our place value understanding and then out addition and subtraction skills.
In science, we will be studying rocks and fossils.
In Design and Technology, we will be desinging and making 'moving creatures' and making them move using air (pneumatics).
In Religious Education, we will be finding out about Hinduism.
In computing, we will be improving our word processing skills.
In French, we will be learning to greet each other in French.
