Oak class 
Cave painting and weaving inspired by our Stone Age topic. 
We have been learning about hunter gatherers and pretended we were hunting and gathering our food before using what we had found to design a stone age meal.
"In Cedar Class, I really enjoyed our debate which period in the Stone Age made the most progress," Maddie (Year 5)

"Learning about Stonehenge was very interesting because it is so old and a scientific mystery," Oscar (Year 6)

"We did some amazing artwork in this project such as Stonehenge silhouette," Molly (Year 4)

"It was fascinating when we learnt about the boy found in ice, with arrows and an axe.  It had been preserved really well because it was so cold," Enrique (Year 5)

"I remember when we had to go hunting and foraging for food around our school- that was brilliant!" Isabelle (Year 6)

"Our teacher brought in some antlers and a blade from the Stone Age, which we loved looking at," Jeremy (Year 4)
