This week, Year 3/4 have been getting hands-on with their Stone Age learning! On Thursday, they took part in a range of practical activities inspired by Stone Age life, including cave painting, weaving and clay pot making.

These creative sessions have given pupils the chance to immerse themselves in ancient techniques and explore how early humans expressed themselves through art and craft. Over the next two weeks, the children will continue to develop their skills in clay work, carving, weaving and painting to deepen their understanding of this fascinating period in history.

The children showed great enthusiasm and creativity as they took part in each activity. Some of them shared their reflections on the experience:

“I enjoyed the weaving because it was fun, even though it was quite tricky.”
“The cave painting on Mod-Roc was a little hard but I liked drawing and painting the animals.”
“In clay work, we made thumb pots. I enjoyed making the coils and smoothing them out.”
