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.

Primary Source Secondary Source

A piece of evidence

created by someone

at the time of the

event.

Information created by

someone who was not

present at an event, after

an event happened.

Examples:

Letters

Diaries

Artefacts

age a distinct period of history.

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.

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.
