History
Our theme this half term is *Stone Age to Iron Age*. We will explore the different ages, studying how people lived and how we know about them. We’ll focus on timelines to understand how life evolved over time. The children will research how early humans lived, what they were like, and how they transitioned from being gatherers and hunters to starting farming. We’ll also learn about animals that coexisted with early humans and study significant landmarks like Stonehenge and Skara Brae, uncovering their meanings and importance. Additionally, we will recreate cave art and explore the symbols and their meanings.
Science
In Science, we will be exploring the fascinating world of rocks. The children will learn about different types of rocks, such as igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic, and how they are formed. We’ll investigate the properties of these rocks and conduct experiments to test their hardness and permeability. The children will also study the rock cycle and discover how rocks change over time. To reinforce their learning, they will create their own rock collections and write about the characteristics of each type.
