We have been reading the book Stone Age Boy. Here is a link to the book to help you to remember what happens:

This week we would like you to write your own version of the story but set in the Iron Age. It will be called Iron Age boy OR Iron Age Girl.

Monday - Below is a list of all the things that happen in the Stone Age Boy story. In red are some sections of the story that will need to change for you to turn the story into Iron Age Boy/Girl. Fill in the boxes to plan your Iron Age story. See if you can use your knowledge of the Iron Age to change any of the boxes with red sections. (Don't worry if you can't yet, there are lots of things below to look at to help answer your questions and to help you write a fantastic story.)

Tuesday - Begin to write your story. Focus for today on the beginning of your story, up until you meet your Iron Age character.

Think about:

- How will the Iron Age person look different to you?

- Remember to check your own sentence length, capital letters, full stops and spellings.

Wednesday - Today you are going to write about the character's home.

Think about:

- Will they live in a camp?

- What will they give you to eat when you arrive?

- What jobs will the Iron Age people be doing?

Thursday - Please write the section of your story where your character learns to make an Iron Sword. Below is a page from the book "The Iron Age" to help you write this section.

Think about:

- The steps in order for making a sword

- How it would feel to make that sword (would you be nervous, excited, etc).

- Use key vocabulary such as furnace, iron ore and bellows.

Friday - Can you finish your story? Use the video of a mine below to help you describe the setting (You only need to watch from 2:30min for about 1 minute or so):

Think about:

- describing the mine

- how your character feels throughout this part of the story

- Make sure your character ends up at home.

History

Monday - For your story tomorrow, you will need to be able to describe Iron Age clothing and to know what Iron Age people might have eaten. Use the links below to find out and make notes.

Try to answer these questions:

- What is a tunic?

- What colour would the clothes be?

- What materials would the Iron Age people have made clothes from?

- What types of food would Iron Age people eat?

Tuesday

For the next part of your story you will need to know what an Iron Age settlement might have looked like and what the people might have done during each day. Use the resources from yesterday as well as the ones below to help you make notes to get ready for your story writing tomorrow.

Art

Below is a link to an assembly about poppies. Your task is to create a piece of artwork about remembrance - linked to poppies. You can use your science knowledge about plants and / or your knowledge and skills from our Georgia O'Keeffe work if you wish. Alternatively, you can create any kind of poppy artwork that you fancy.

Welcome to the Year 3 blended learning page. If you are learning from home, this is where you will find the tasks to be completed. It will be updated weekly with new activities. We would love you to share your home learning with us using the year 3 email address, year3@bellevue.cumbria.sch.uk
