Autumn Term 2023: Welcome back to school and to Starscraper Class!

We have an exciting enquiry for this autumn term on The Stone Age-hopefully they will be telling you all about what we have been learning! Our enquiry question this term is 'How have we evolved?'

This term, all our learning will be based around our enquiry question. In History, we will be learning about the Stone, Bronze and Iron Ages and how life changed throughout these periods. We will be comparing the life of a person in the Stone, Bronze and Iron Ages to how we live now and how our lives would be different if we lived in the Stone Age. In Science, we will be learning about how soil and rocks are formed, as well as learning about the different types of rocks and their properties. In the second half of the autumn term, we will be learning about animals and humans, their skeletons and muscles and the types of nutrition they need. We will be looking at and learning about cave paintings and creating our own, as well as creating our own models of Stonehenge.

We will be reading a range of different fiction and non-fiction Stone Age themed books, and be writing diary entries, non-chronological reports and narratives using our enquiry as inspiration. Here are some of the texts we will be focusing on.

Here is our enquiry learning journey, ready for the children's work:
