This week Green Class took a step back in time and became archaeologists for the day. In the morning we excavated artefacts from the sand, brushed them clan and had to decide whether they were from the Stone Age, Bronze Age, Iron Age or another time period. Once we had done this we set up our museum display and discussed the artefacts we liked with our group. We had great fun, excavating in the sand.
In the afternoon we had the chance to experience what it might be like to live as a hunter gatherer. We made an arrow using a flint arrow head, a stick and some string. Next we had a go at making flour from seeds, this was hard work and took over an hour and a half to get less than half a cup of flour fine enough to use. We also had the chance to weave and use a spindle to spin wool. Our las activity was to make a bracelet using animal teeth and beads.
We had a great day experiencing life as it might possibly have been back in the Stone Age period.
Ask Year 3 which part of the day they enjoyed the most.
