This term we will be finding out about the Stone Age. Children will explore how we know about this time and think about the things we cannot find out about. They will then learn about the transformation from hunter-gatherers to farmers and why this change occurred. Looking at the period from the Stone Age to the Iron Age. At the end of term, we will be visiting Stonehenge thinking about why and how Stonehenge was built and what it was used for.
