Year 3 had an exciting afternoon in the Forest on Monday as they stepped back in time to the Stone Age! The children worked in teams to design and build their own shelters using natural materials, thinking carefully about how to make them strong and weatherproof. They also created simple “weapons” and tools from sticks and stones, just like early humans might have done. Everyone was fascinated as they watched a fire-lighting demonstration, learning how people in the Stone Age would have used fire for warmth, cooking, and protection. Afterwards, the class took part in a brilliant discussion about how essential fire, shelters, and tools were for survival in the Stone Age. It was a fantastic hands-on learning experience!
