Stone Age Workshop Year 3
Mon 25 Nov 2024Today Year 3 welcomed a special visitor - Dan from the Stone Age ...well, not exactly.
Dan joined us to talk about life in Britain all those hundreds of thousands of years ago.
The class began by looking at how people were dressed all those hundreds of thousands of years ago.
Dan then introduced them to some of the tools they would have used for surviving, living, eating, entertainment and hunting.
In the afternoon, they got creative and had a go at sharpening flint into arrowheads!
Finally, they made Stone Age 'candles' from clay, which the children will take home when they have dried!
A very excited Year 3 gained a lot from the practical session and having an expert in who was so engaging and entertaining!
