Year 3 History Lesson Plans
2 free Year 3 History lesson plans for KS2. Each includes learning objectives, key vocabulary, a timed lesson structure and common misconceptions, and downloads as an editable Word document.
Year 3 history represents a significant leap in chronological scale. Where KS1 history focused on events within the last few centuries, Year 3 takes pupils back thousands of years to prehistoric Britain. The Stone Age to Iron Age unit spans roughly 6,000 years of human development on these islands — from the first hunter-gatherers following the ice age to the sophisticated iron-working societies that preceded the Roman invasion.
