Stone Age jewellery

As a part of our DT project we designed and started making Stone Age jewellery. We started our lesson with discussion about materials used for making jeweller now. Then we explored what jewellery looked like during the Stone Age and what natural resource were used in those days. We compared Stone Age jewellery to what is worn nowadays. We then designed our very own Stone Age jewellery as well as labeling the resources that would have been used such as animal teeth, stones and shells. Today we used our designs to create beads for our necklaces and bracelets using air dry clay.

Year 3 Autumn 2

Welcome back Year 3! We hope you are well rested and ready for our fun packed topic this half term.  We will be travelling back in time to the prehistoric era to find out what life was like in the Stone Age. We will be exploring Stone Age art, creating cave paintings and Stone Age jewellery, as well as taking part in hunter gatherer outdoor activities with Mrs Anson making campfires and practising our aiming and throwing skills.


Happy Diwali

Year 3 enjoyed watching videos about DiwalI the Hindu festival of light. We compared this festival to the Christian festival Christmas and Hannukah that Jews celebrate. Children shared their ideas on how DiwalI is celebrated and then together wrote acrostic poems.

Happy Diwali 


Art in Year 3

Year 3 have experimented with watercolours and created the background for a Stonehenge picture using sketching pencils on top of their watercolour background. This links to their Stone Age themed topic this year.
