In Year 3, we are studying changes in life in Britain from the Stone Age to the Iron Age. To start off our new unit of work, we looked at all of our replica Stone Age artefacts we are very lucky to have in school.

We spent a while looking at them very carefully and hypothesising what we thought they were made out of, how they were made and what they were used for. Here are some of the artefacts below – can you work out what they are and what they were used for?

We all loved looking at them and couldn’t believe they were all made from stone, horns, tusks, bone and wood. We were all shocked with the animal skins in the frame and how it was stretched to use for clothing and shelter. Come and ask us in Y3 to tell you all about them!
