Term 3 - Stone Age to Iron Age

Let’s kick this topic off by going on a journey through time, as we piece together the past using evidence and Experimental Archaeology. We will research the social and cultural environments from Stone Age and Bronze Age right through to the Iron Age. The children will learn chronology, living conditions and the geography of these time periods, through exploring real-life artefacts and researching. Children will be working on iPads as they use Digimaps to locate ancient settlements, such as Skara Brae and Stonehenge! We will be welcoming a ‘Prehistoric Experiences’ workshop during the topic, where the children can ‘live the history’ for the day with a variety of activities, including preparing, cooking and eating a typical Stone Age meal. By the end of this topic, children will practise their debating skills as we discuss the positive and negative effects these times have had on Britain.
