Year 3 Homework Pack Autumn Term 1
This half term, we would like the children to focus on the topic of Stone Age through to Iron Age and have put a menu together of different activities. Whilst these activities are optional, we believe it is very beneficial for the children to do these activities to reinforce and consolidate their learning. We advise that all pupils complete at least 1 task a week. In addition, we would still like children to practise their spellings and time tables weekly and read at home to an adult every day.
I enjoy words	Research Stone Age to Iron Age Britain and create a minibook to present the information that you find out.	Write an acrostic poem about the Stone Age. You can choose any word related to the topic to go down the side of the page.	Write a recipe using Stone Age ingredients. Have a go at making it and take a picture of your final dish.	Write a list of at least five questions which you would like to ask a Stone Age person.
I enjoy numbers	Write your own Maths worded problems which use Stone Age as a topic. You could concentrate on addition, subtraction.	Create a Stone Age timeline. When were the Palaeolithic, Mesolithic and Neolithic times? How many years does the Stone Age period cover?	Stone Age people seemed to have their own method of counting. Can you create your own method of counting? Will you count in sets of ten or do it another way?	Use some stones to design a way to explain hundreds, tens and ones to another child.
I enjoy Science and Geography	How did people first settle in this country during the Stone Age? How did they travel and where did they come from? Present your information how you wish.

I enjoy pictures	Paint a stone with an image of an animal	Design a piece of cave art using materials of your choice. i.e. mud, clay, grass, fruits and berries.

If you could give something from 2019 to the Stone Age people to improve their life, what would you give them? Draw a picture of three items and explain why you have chosen them.
I enjoy doing things	Conduct some research into Stone Age houses. Create your own 3D model using natural materials.	Design and make an ancient stone circle or a replica of Stonehenge.
