What children learn in Year 3 history
Key Stage 2 history builds a chronological picture of British, local and world history. Many schools begin Year 3 with prehistoric Britain, from the Stone Age to the Iron Age, and a study of an early civilisation such as Ancient Egypt.
Children learn how archaeologists find out about the past and how to use dates and timelines.
Key goals for Year 3 include:
- put the Stone, Bronze and Iron Ages in order
- describe how farming changed life in the Neolithic
- name key features of Ancient Egypt
