Skara Brae - A Stone Age Village
Year 3 have been immersed in the Stone Age and the village of Skara Brae.

Skara Brae in the Orkney Islands is a village of ten one-roomed houses built between 2,500 and 2,000 years ago.The site was first unearthed in 1850, after a storm exposed some of the ruins.

We know the houses at Skara Brae used a clever drainage system and even had their own toilets. The homes also had beds, chairs, dressers and cupboards, although no windows.

The people who lived in the settlement raised cattle and sheep, and also ate a lot of seafood in their diet.

Hundreds of artifacts have been found at Skara Brae, including knives, rope, small bowls, ivory pins and decorative beads.

With all this knowledge and more, Year 3 split into groups and made their very own information posters. Their finished posters are fantastic!

Welcome to Year 3!

The children have had a fantastic first week settling into Keystage 2.

This half term we are learning lots of exciting new topics. In Science we will be learning about nutrition, how to keep healthy and fit, as well as the human skeleton and different muscle groups.

In History we are investigating The Stone Age, Bronze Age and Iron Age and learning about prehistoric life two million years ago!

For R.E, we will study Jesus, his life and the different ways he is portrayed, as well as possible reasons for this.

We will enjoy weekly apparatus sessions as well as fun games with a P.E coach.

French will continue with Madame Wilcock and music with Miss Canavan..

My Maths will be set most weeks linked to our class work. Also, please remember spelling tests on Fridays and regular reading sessions of around 6 pages a night. Topic themed homework will also be set on a 1/2 termly basis.
