Autumn Term 2024 - Sept - Oct

Great North Museum – Time Odyssey!

Year 3 are time champions! We visited the Great North Museum in Newcastle, where we took part in the Time Odyssey. Our mission was to return our character to their own time period as they had somehow gotten lost in time. We explored all of the different galleries, including the Stone Age and Ancient Egypt galleries. It was so much fun exploring the museum in a fun and interactive way!

Stone Age Artefacts

To introduce our topic of Stone Age to Iron Age, we examined different artefacts from the time period. We answered questions such as ‘what might it have been used for?’ and ‘what material / materials is it made from?’. This activity got us really excited to learn more as we got to examine the artefacts closely and discuss our ideas about each one. We discovered artefacts such as a flint axe, a rabbit pelt, horn needles and even a bow drill fire starter. We compared some of the items to things that we use today and found that there were some similarities and differences.
