Our Key Stage Two children were treated to an immersive ‘Stone Age Experience’ as part of their current History topic. Entering the ‘cave’ through an archway of ancient paintings, children were transported into a world of the Stone Age. Surrounded by animal skins, ancient tools, skulls, and painted scenes, they took a journey through time, exploring life from the Palaeolithic to the Neolithic age.

The experience focused on essential survival skills, such as making fire, sourcing food, and using flint tools. Activities included fire-making, preparing food and using all parts of the animal. The children also tried skills like shaping bone and antler, working with hides, and foraging.
