RATIONALE: After discovering a bundle of materials in their classroom and being asked to create a ‘tool’, the children are challenged to bring this important period of history, Stone Age, to life. Through recreating life during this time and recounting events through story, our historians will create a time tunnel re-enacting everyday life through the Stone Age, Bronze and Iron Age illustrating the key changes during this period.
Children will endeavour to bring methods of communication, artefacts and cave drawings to life using mediums of art within our time tunnel. Our invited guests will leave having been immersed within this period of history. In order to ensure a greater understanding of chronology, the children will also study the theme of farming linking this to two other periods of history and modern day life.
The children came into the classroom to find stones, sticks, string and material. They were challenged to create a tool (something that could be used to help you survive). They came up with hammers, axes, sacks, fishing rods and a mini den (which would have been bigger!) Finally it was revealed that we will be learning about the stone age in Britain and the changes that followed.
