Autumn 1 – MTP - Year 3/4
Title: Rock and Roll
Timescale: 02/09/15 – 23/10/15 8wks
Rationale:
As Historians we will be investigating the changes in Britain from the Stone Age to the Iron Age. We will be suggesting causes and consequences of some of
the main events and changes in history. We will be describing different accounts of historical events, explaining some of the ways the accounts may differ.
By the end of the study, children will be able to identify key features of the Stone age, bronze age and Iron age and be able to compare and contrast these,
in order to make an informed choice about which era they would prefer to live in. They will investigate hunter-gatherers, early farmers, clothing, diet,
housing and tools. Key skills developed will include understanding of chronology, looking at similarities and differences between ages, interpreting sources of
information and looking at different versions of past events. Furthermore we will be investigating regions of the British Isles and relate this to our study of
the Stone Age to Iron Age.
The Big Questions:
Who on Earth? As part of our topic we will be investigating who were the first people in Britain.
What are Historians and archaeologists? The children will discover the important role of Historians and archaeologists.
How different are we? Blue Class we compare the life of a Stone Age child to their own childhood.
Hook:
The children will watch the film ‘The Croods’, which is based on the prehistoric way of life. They will discuss what happened during the film, who the
characters were and how it relates to facts we already know about the Stone Age. They main focus will be on the clothes, food, home and tools.
Take-Away Task:
This half term the children will Study a region of the United Kingdom. They will compare and contrast their chosen region, in order to present information on
changes over the years. This will include a detailed map, work opportunities and other areas their chosen region connects too. Class activities will include comparing
changes to the coastlines and land of Britain and Europe. We will look at where the first humans lived and use atlases to find the continents. Then we will compare
with old images to see how the land has changed over time due to the Ice Ages.
