History: Stone Age to Iron Age Britain
The Stone Age is brought to life for the children through blocks that
develop their archaeological skills and vocabulary, help them to create
Ice Age art, as well as activities researching and making Stone Age
homes. To understand the Bronze Age, children find out about tool
making, using the computer game Minecraft, and while making models
they explore the religious importance of Stonehenge. They go on to
role-play life in an Iron Age village, explore and understand Hill Forts
before making and decorating Iron Age objects ready for tribal meeting.
