History

In today’s history lesson, we will be comparing the similarities/differences between the Stone Age, Bronze Age and Iron Age homes. Today’s task we would like you to use your previous lessons notes to record the main advantages/disadvantages for each of the ages we have learnt about. You will need to have these ideas ready to discuss in our TEAMs call tomorrow and they will also help you answer our enquiry question tomorrow!
Worksheet if you would like to print- Advantages Disadvantages worksheet
We are then challenging you to try and build/draw your very own pre-historic house out of anything you choose… the more creative the better. Miss Moore has included some ideas in the video! On our Year 3 page we have created a web post named  ‘Stone Age, Bronze Age and Iron Age homes’ some children have already had a go at using their imaginations to create a prehistoric home if you aren’t sure what to do you could have a look at the post to inspire you.
We would love to see/hear how you get on with this so please feel free to e-mail us any pictures! Enjoy 🙂

Spelling

As last week, here is your weekly spellings and spelling task.  You can either print these sheets out and record your practice attempts in the boxes or write the spelling words out a few times/put them into sentences on some paper from home. They are in word and PDF format below.

These are from EdShed so you can log in using the details found at the back of your diary and play the interactive spelling games to help you practice if you think this might help.  We won’t be setting a formal time to test your spellings but if you would like to please feel free to organise a time to test yourselves and let us know your scores.
