Year 3 Trip to Waltham Abbey Posted: 25/10/24
We pretended to be in a dark cave where we did some cave paintings using charcoal and finished the day by making a fire!
Year 3 travelled 6 million years back in time to the Stone Age!
We had fun bringing all our learning in the classroom to practical reality at Waltham Abbey. We went on a hunt for natural edible plants and spoke about how Stone Age people hunted and gathered for their survival. Then, we pretended to be in a dark cave where we did some cave paintings using charcoal and finished the day by making a fire, using a modern version of the flint they would have used in the Stone Age to spark a fire.
We think that Stone Age people would have had qualities like our superhero learning powers to survive the Stone Age, such as patience, resourcefulness, responsibility and a strong community.
