Year 3 Stone Age Day

On Thursday, Year 3 had an awesome Stone Age day.

We all came to school dressed up as cave people; with animal furs, bones and dirty faces! First, Freya from Squirrel class’ mum, Becky, came to speak to us all about Stone Age archaeology. She showed us very sharp arrows, pieces of flint and gave our class a special Stone Age book. Next, we became scavengers and collected natural materials from the woods. We used these to paint our Stone Age pictures. It was very difficult because the sticks and leaves were not like paintbrushes at all! Then, we became hunters. We found sticks we could use as spears and found out who could throw their spear the furthest. After lunch, our parents came into school. We did lots of different activities with them. We created cave paintings, and used clay to make Stone Age pots and houses. Also, we built Stone Age people and tools. We had a go at creating our own Stonehenge using junk modelling. We drew cave paintings on the wall and painted our hands, just like the people did in the Stone Age.

It was an amazing day; we had so much fun pretending we were Stone Age people!
