This half term, our class has been exploring an exciting topic in history: The Early Stone Age. The children have been learning about the lives of the first humans who lived thousands of years ago, focusing on their daily lives as hunter-gatherers.

One of the key areas we’ve studied is how these early humans built their shelters using natural materials. We’ve learned about the different types of homes they constructed, from caves and rock shelters to circular structures made of wood, animal skins, and even mammoth bones.

To bring this learning to life, the children have had the chance to get hands-on by designing and building their own model Stone Age houses! Using materials like sticks and felt, the children constructed small-scale models of the types of shelters Stone Age people would have used.

Through this project, the children have developed a deeper understanding of how early humans adapted to their environment and worked together to survive.

We are incredibly proud of the creativity and effort the children have shown this half term, and we encourage you to ask your child about what they’ve discovered in their journey through history!
