From Stone To Iron

In the Autumn term, we have been learning about the Stone Age. We have discovered how early humans lived and survived and some of the prehistoric animals they had to face! We also learned about some amazing cave art that exists in the world and had a go at our own, using charcoal!

History

In history, we looked at the different achievements of prehistoric humans and put them in order on a timeline.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Art

In art, we studied gestural drawings using charcoal. We practised different skills in our sketch books, to try and create a sense of energy and drama within our artwork. We then created final pieces based upon images of cave drawings that have been uncovered from the Stone Age.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Geography

In geography, we looked at the different shelters and settlements that were used across different eras of the Stone Age.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

History

We looked at artifacts that had been discovered by archaeologists, and tried to deduce what we could about the objects.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

History

We put what we had found out about life in the Stone Age into a factfile.
