Through the Ages
This term we begin a history based topic called ‘Through the Ages’. In the Through the Ages project, we will learn about three different periods of British prehistory: the Stone Age, Bronze Age and Iron Age. We will discover terminology relating to time and sequence dates to make a timeline. In this project we will explore the changes to people, homes and lifestyle throughout the different periods and investigate examples of prehistoric settlements, monuments, burials and artefacts in detail. This will include a study of how technology improved over time, focusing on how the discovery of different metals changed the way that people lived.
Science – Skeletal System
Our science project this term focused on the skeletal system. We will learn the function of the human skeleton, observing and then labelling the location of its major bones. We will learn what joints are and investigate how they allow us to bend and move easily. We will explore the function of muscles and identify how they work in pairs before observing firsthand the movements their muscles bring about. We will carefully examine different skeleton types and use the terms ‘vertebrate’, ‘invertebrate’, ‘endoskeleton’ and ‘exoskeleton’.
