Year 3 History

Earliest Civilisations and Ancient Egypt

Norwich Castle Museum 

We went to the Norwich Castle Museum to find out more about the Ancient Egyptians.
During our experience day we got to:

- find out about daily life in Ancient Egyptian, learning about what food and drink they had, as well as the tools they would have used daily.

- explore Ancient Egyptian jewellery and make our own Egyptian collars.

- explore a range of  real and preserved Ancient Egyptian artefacts.

- find out of the mummification process and the tools that were used. 

 

 

 Timelines

First, we plotted our prior knowledge of Ernest Shackleton from Year 2 onto our class timeline.

 Then we plotted Ancient Egyptian key events onto our class timeline.

 

Stone Age and Iron Age

In Year 3, we have been learning about the Stone Age. We had a couple of very special visitors!

Memma and Twig taught us a wide range of skills in order to survive in the Stone Age; starting a fire, building flint tools/weapons, making fishing nets out of nettles, scraping animal skin for clothes/wigwams and even creating natural paint to decorate.
