Year 3 – Redwood Class
What We’ve Been Up To This Term
Who were the first people who lived in Britain?

As well as our key text, The Finger-Eater by Dick King-Smith, we will be learning all about the Stone Age. We will use historical sources to describe the clothes, way of life, culture, leisure activities and actions of people in the past.
Books your child could read at home:
- The Boy With The Bronze Axe by Kathleen Fidler
- Ug: Boy Genius Of The Stone Age And His Search For Soft Trousers by Raymond Briggs
- The First Drawing by Mordicai Gerstein
What have we been doing?
The children have shown real enthusiasm for the book ‘War and Peas’! As part of our English learning, we have acted out the dialogue of the two kings and had great fun representing one of the main scenes in the book, the food fight, focusing on the body language and expressions of the characters. Can you guess who is who by looking at the picture from the book? We have been developing our observational skills in science by exploring the parts of different flowering plants from our playground. We identified the stem, petals, anther, sepals and the filament.
Still thinking about food, we have been creating observational drawings of apples.
