The over-arching question for Year 3 is:

How have human lives changed and developed over time?

 

This term's topic question is:

What has the earth provided humans with to be able to live well?

 

During this topic the children will discover how the Iron Age was different to the Stone Age; finding out how things had developed over time.  They will learn more about the Celts, their settlements, how they farmed, the weapons and jewellery they made. 

 

The children will become a 'Celtic tribe'!  They will choose a Celtic name and make a cape with an emblem to wear in 'The Battle of the Forest!'
