The children absolutely loved finding out about all the different areas of how humans have developed through the Stone Age. They even got to touch some Stone Age artefacts including a mammoth's tooth!
Mr Pavely, Year 3 Teacher
Year 3 have been learning all about the Stone Age to the Iron Age. They have really developed their investigative Historical skills by using artefacts to find out what life was really like back then! They have studied the change from the nomadic hunter gatherer lifestyle of early humans to a more farming based lifestyle of growing crops and domesticating animals. The children have also been thinking about the big questions of the time, including the mysteries surrounding Stonehenge and the sophisticated development of Danebury Hill - an Iron Age Hill Fort.
Year 3 even had an experience day with a local archaeologist where the children were able look at some real artefacts from the Stone Age, including a real mammoth tusk and tooth! The children also got to experience what it is like to be an archaeologist by digging up some bones, pieces of pot and other artefacts in a sand try.
