Year 3 Stone Age Day

Year 3 began their Stone Age topic with a visit from a Stone Age expert, who brought the period into the classroom with flint tools, an antler pick, animal furs and photographs of real sites. The children handled the objects, asked questions and acted out how people hunted, gathered and told stories across the Palaeolithic, Mesolithic and Neolithic.

In the afternoon they put what they had learned to work: salt dough necklaces, stick puppets of Stone Age families and animals, and cave paintings drawn on paper taped to the wall. Many came to school dressed for the day, which made the whole thing feel like a step back in time. Thank you to the families who helped with costumes.
