Flint tools

In our first activity today, we had to try and find out how Stone Age people held the tools and what they were used for.

We found out these were called flint scrapers. 

We Lso learned that jadeite came from Switzerland and was polished for about 24 hours, using sandstone. They were kept as ornaments and weren't used as tools. We had to do a treasure hunt in the museum, which was fun!

Hunter gatherers

This afternoon we have been gathering things from the land to make the roofs on our stone age homes. There was lots of big thinking and problem solving happening!

Big thinking!

Will this keep someone dry? How can we improve it?

'I think this will work!'

Moss might help

Stone Age Houses

This afternoon we have been having a go at building Stone Age homes. We have thought about the materials they used, what the floor and roof would be like.

Light and Shadows

We have been learning about how light travels in straight lines, that darkness is the absence of light and that light is the reason we can see things. It was the perfect afternoon yesterday to test out how opaque objects block light and make darker shadows. We had great fun trying to make different shadow puppets.
