Year 3
Curriculum Map
Through the Ages
In the Through the Ages project, your child will learn about two different periods of British prehistory: The Stone Age and Bronze Age. In order to create a timeline, they will discover terminology relating to time and sequence dates. They will explore the changes to people, homes and lifestyle throughout the different periods and investigate examples of prehistoric settlements, monuments, burials and artefacts in detail. Year 3 will also study how technology improved over time, including how the discovery of different metals changed the way that people lived.
The children will be exploring and identifying cave art from the Stone Age before taking a virtual trip to Stonehenge to learn more about the mysterious and wonderful things that happened during this period of History.
In order to prepare your children for this topic, please ensure you go through the knowledge organiser with them and carry out some research. In addition, a trip to the British Museum would be extremely informative and fascinating, whilst providing the children with a greater understanding of the Stone Age and Bronze Age.
