History Knowledge Organiser: Stone Age to Iron Age—Year 3
Key Ideas: To describe what life was like in the Prehistoric Ages.
Explain how humans developed, including use of tools, new technologies and lifestyles.
Prehistoric Ages 500,000 BC
—2500 BC
Stone Age
When the first humans began to live in
Europe. They used stones as tools.
2500 BC —
800 BC
Bronze Age
In this era, metals were used to make
hunting tools. Humans also began to
farm land.
800 BC - 43
AD
Iron Age
Humans now used iron to make tools,
and farmed land instead of hunting.
They lived in communities.
Skara Brae
An archaeological site
in Orkney, Scotland. It
is a Stone Age village,
with 8 houses made of
stone. There is only
one room in each
house. It is famous because it has been well
preserved and has taught us a lot about life in the
Stone Age.
Stonehenge
A prehistoric
monument in
Wiltshire, England.
It is a circle of
very large stones
standing upright. It
was built in the Stone Age and nobody knows why
it exists.
Some believe it was built to learn about the
movements of the sun and moon. Others believe it
was a burial mound.

age a distinct period of history.
archaeology the study of the buildings, graves, tools and other objects that belonged to people who lived in the past, in order to learn about their culture and society.
chronology the arrangement of events or dates in the order that they happened.
farming the activity of growing crops and raising livestock.
flint-knapping shaping flint to make tools.
Homo Sapiens humans, including present day humans. The first humans originated in Africa and have been around for 200,000 year.
hunter-gatherers
people who found food from their local environment and then moved from site to site depending on the season. They moved wherever they needed to get food from.
Mesolithic middle period of the Stone Age. Humans continued to develop new stone tools and improved hunting skills during this era.
Neanderthals a species of human-like people that lived in Europe between 120,000 and 35,000 years ago.
Neolithic latest period of the Stone Age. People began to farm and contin-ued to use stone tools.
nomadic a way of living with no permanent home, where people travel from place to place in search of food.
Palaeolithic this is the earliest Stone Age period. Early people evolved and learnt to use simple stone tools during this era.
settlement a place where people establish a community.
shelter a place giving protection from weather or danger.
smelting extracting metal from its natural rock by heating.
tools a device, often hand held, used to carry out a function.
tribe group of families with a common way of life

Tools
During the Stone Age, stone was
the most common material used to
make tools.
Different tools were developed for
different tasks over the years.
Early Stone Age people hunted
with sharpened sticks. Later, they
used bows and
arows and spears tipped with flint
or bone.
People gathered nuts and fruits
and dug up roots. They went
fishing using nets and harpoons.
DT Knowledge Organiser: Pop-up Books —Year 3
What is a pop-up book?
A pop-up book is a book with paper
parts within the pages that can be
moved by the reader.
Pop-up books include text,
illustrations and folds or tabs that
move features on the page.
Types of folds
- Box folds
- Lift flaps
- Sliders
- Paper Springs
- Rotators
- Mouth Folds
Some examples of pop-up books.
Equipment needed
To make a pop-up
book, you will need:
scissors
glue
card paper
pens and pencils
Storyboard
Before making a pop-up book, you
must decide on your story.
Creating a story board helps you
understand what the story will be
about.
You can also decide which pop-up
mechanisms may be used.
DT Knowledge Organiser: Pop-up Books —Year 3
mechanism a system of parts, working together
in a machine.
construct build or make something.
design a plan or drawing made to show
the look and functions of an object
before it has been made.
accurate correct in all possible ways.
equipment items that are needed for a task to
be completed.
genre a style or category. eg. adventure,
mystery.
storyboard a set of drawings showing what a
final product will look like at each
stage.
evaluate to assess an object and decide what
is good and bad about it.
Key vocabulary:
Box folds Lift flap
Sliders Paper springs
Mouth folds
Computing Knowledge Organiser: We are programmers —Year 3
What is Scratch?
Scratch is a visual programming tool mainly used by children to
learn basic programming skills.
Users of the site can create online projects and animations.
animation the process of making it look
like drawings, models, or
inanimate objects are able to
move.
algorithm set of instructions or rules that
are followed to complete a task.
programming the process of creating a set of
instructions for the computer.
storyboard picture based representation of
how a story will unfold.
coding using a computer to create
programming instructions
sprite an object (character) in Scratch
which performs functions con-
trolled by code.
Key vocabulary:
Fun Fact
Scratch is a bit like Lego — you use
programming tools to build the animation, in-
stead of Lego blocks.
What can we do in Scratch?
In Scratch, you can create
characters and backgrounds.
You can create algorithms to
make the character move on the
screen and even add sounds! The list of purple boxes are lists of
instructions for the characters to complete.
Science Knowledge Organiser: Forces and Magnets—Year 3
A force is a push or a pull. Forces allow us to move around and to control the speed of
our movement. In this unit we will look at two types of forces: friction and magnetism, but there are
many others.
is a force that occurs when two surfaces touch each other.
This child is skiing. The smooth
surface of the ice moving against
the smooth surface of the skis
means that the friction force is low
and the child moves quickly.
This child is trying to slide on
grass. The rough surface of the
grass moving against the rough
surface of the shoes means that the
friction force is high and the child
moves slowly.
What would happen if the ice melted or it began to rain on the grass? Do you think the friction force
might change? Look around you. Can you see examples of friction in action?
We can think of friction as grip and observe how strongly surfaces can grip onto each other.
is a force that can work at a distance (we have seen that friction needs contact).
Magnets are objects that display this force of magnetism which attracts (pulls) certain other metals
towards them. Not all metals are magnetic only some will be attracted to a magnet.
Magnets come in many shapes and sizes.
bar magnets horseshoe magnet button magnets wand magnet
force a push or a pull that can control movement
push to use a force to move something away
pull to use a force to bring something closer
friction a force that acts between two surfaces
magnetism the name of a pushing or pulling force in
a magnet
magnet an object that contains the force of
magnetism
magnetic the name given to a metal that is attracted by
a magnet
metal a very common strong material
iron a type of metal that is magnetic
poles the name given to either end of something
north pole one end of a magnet (opposite to south)
south pole one end of a magnet (opposite to north)
attract a pulling force that draws an object
closer
repel a pushing force that moves an object
further away
Science Knowledge Organiser: Forces and magnets —Year 3
A material that can be attracted by a magnet is
called magnetic. All magnetic materials are made
of metal. But not all metals are magnetic.
Metals that contain iron will be magnetic.
Magnetic materials are not magnets because they do
not attract other magnetic materials.
This horseshoe magnet has attracted the
paper clips because the paper clips are
magnetic.
These paper clips are not attracted to each
other because they are not magnets.
Magnets have two different poles
(ends). The two poles are called
the north and the south.
Magnets can attract (pull towards) another magnet
or repel (push away) another magnet.
Opposite poles will
attract.
Similar poles repel.
