WELCOME TO
YEAR 3!
This term our topic is about the changes in Britain from the Stone Age to the Iron Age. All of our learning will be focused around this period of time and stem from our key question, 'Is change always positive?' Alongside this, we have six concepts to explore: Happiness, Choice, Freedom, Sustainability, Creativity and Community
