The Stone Age
Our first History topic of Year 3 is The Stone Age where we will be exploring what life was like for people living in the Stone Age period and how that differs from today.
We will also have the chance to get hand on with history by exploring different artefacts and discovering what they might have been used for.
As part of our Stone Age topic, we had the privilege of welcoming the Ancient Technology Centre who spent the day immersing us in history. They transformed Farah classroom into a stone age camp where we experienced different stone age jobs such as making pigments, making nettle rope and turning wheat into flour. In Simmonds classroom, we handled stone age artefacts and explored their uses. Finally, in the hall we practised hand spinning wool into bracelets before weaving wool using a loom.
Overall, we had an amazing day and really deepened our understanding of the stone age and the lives of those living during this period.
