Year 3: Stone Age Day

February 05, 2018
Year 3 had a super Stone Age Day wearing imaginative and authentic costumes. They began by looking at real animal skins and artefacts from over 15,000 years ago. They also tried their hand at archaeology with a dig in sand to find a real mammoth tooth, leg bone and tusk.

In the afternoon, the children made a clay pot and beaded bracelet. A number of survival games based around hunting and gathering followed, before the challenge of building a Stone Age bivy (tent).

Year 3 had a fantastic day of learning and fun, gaining a greater insight into life in the Stone Age.
