most importantly seeing your faces. You’ve grown so much!!! Moving forward with our History, this will be the last of the three ages of prehistory-Iron Age. The Iron Age helped many countries to become more technologically advanced. Metal work made farming easier as the iron tools were much better than what people had before. Research: https://www.dkfindout.com/uk/history/iron-age/ There is also a booklet saved separately

with lots of information. Task: Your task this week is to make an Iron

Age round house. You can find below instructions on how to make the round house, as well as some pictures with some examples, but you can be as creative as you wish. Use the template as a guide to give you an idea on how to create them. Collect small twigs, straw, dried grass from your walks or from your garden. You could use any plasticine or play dough you have in the house to make the round house. Send them over via email to our school office. We would love to see them!

THURS Task 1 https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-3/ Summer Term Week 2 – Lesson 4 - Problem Solving

Complete the spelling activity focusing on word families under ‘English session 4’. Yesterday you planned your own story based on part of Stone Age Boy. Stone Age tribes relied on reindeer meat and skin for a number of purposes. Look back to the pages under ‘English session 2’ for more information. Hunting for animals in the way that Stone Age people did is not something we do in our society. If you are uncomfortable writing about the hunt then you could say that the reindeer got away from the hunters. Today, you are going to begin writing your own story. Your story should be three or four paragraphs in total and include description, action and speech. Follow the prompts under ‘English session 4’ to guide you through the writing process further.

How to make your own Iron Age Roundhouse

Instructions:

1) Using the template, cut out the roof (circle) and the wall (rectangle). Take care

to leave the glue tabs attached.

2) Cut out the doorway in the wall. You can make a hinged door or add a piece

of cloth for a door later.

3) Wrap the wall round to create a curved wall and apply glue to fix it in shape.

4) Snip the dotted line on the roof. You can then overlap to make a peak which

fits your walls. Glue it when it’s the right size. Use the glue tabs on the

circular wall to secure the roof.

5) Glue twigs or hay to the roof to make it look authentic. Group your houses

into a larger hill fort or Celtic settlement. Add plastic animals, camp fires and

people to bring the settlement to life.
