For our Autumn topic, we will be learning about pre-historic Britain and I’m extremely excited to get started on such a fascinating period of history! ‘Ancient Britain’ is divided into 3 ‘ages’ known as the Stone Age, the Bronze Age and the Iron Age and it’s amazing to think how much we’ve developed and progressed since then.
Within the Stone Age, we’ll be looking at cave paintings of the Paleolithic period, making comparisons with the Mesolithic period, studying evidence from the ancient village of Skara Brea and exploring Stonehenge and early farming in the Neolithic period.
We will then discover how Britain moved from the Stone Age into the Bronze Age and then developed further into the Iron Age.
In your half termly homework, you will find wider curriculum tasks, some of which link to this great topic, posted on Google Classroom, and you will be able to use the skills and knowledge from the homework in our lessons!
To begin our topic, I would like you to have a look at the picture below and answer the questions in the comments:
1. What do you think the people are doing in the picture?
2. What do you think they are holding and wearing?
3. What would you like to find out about this picture?
I can’t wait to read them all and I am so excited to start this new topic with you!

I really like this topic and it was fun doing the activities.

1. I think the people are carving out pottery from a mammoth’s tusks.
2.I think that they are holding little cloaks and I think they are wearing fur from animals, like for example, maybe they are wearing deerskins.
3.I would like to find out how they pulled the tusks and how they carve out / make/ whatever the tools so they can fight.
