  • What was your favourite part of Stone Age Day

    Published 22/10/25

    Year 3 had a fantastic day on Tuesday with our Stone Age Day!  The children all looked amazing - thank you for helping them with their outfits, it definitely added to the excitment of the day.

    We went 'hunting for animals' in forest school and were fortunate enough to catch our lunch using spears!  (no animals were hurt, just a few popped balloons).  We then decorated stones, practised our potttery skills before making clay pots and then decorated our caves using paint and charcoal.  We hope the children all enjoyed it as much as we did!
