On Thursday, Year 3 kicked off their history Stone Age topic with an action-packed experience day. They spent the day working as historians, using different replica artefacts to help them learn about what life was like during the Stone Age and test different theories using the evidence we have. After meeting some Stone Age people, children travelled through a time portal in their classrooms to go back in time. They learnt all about jewellery and used clay to make their own. They worked as archeologists to dig for artefacts and had a go at cave drawings. They also learnt about different pre-historic animals, measured their footprints and dissected their poo to identify whether they were herbivores, carnivores or omnivores! In the afternoon, children also learnt about hunting and gathering and found their own sticks to make spears, needed for hunting animals for food. A fantastic day was had by all, the children learnt so much and there were some amazing costumes too!
