Our Stone Age Day
What a great start to our term with all of Raccoon class dressed as Stone Age people! Even the teachers joined in. We had an excellent day with lots of fun activities including stone age art where we made our tables into caves and lay in them to create art work using charcoal. We had a fantastic time too building Stonehenge out of Bourbon biscuits. We used a toilet roll as a timeline to show just how long ago the Stone Age was.
Summer Term 2021
Welcome back, we have launched this term with our wonderful Stoneage day! Children and staff came in some marvellous stone age outfits. Children learned about cave art, they turned their desk into caves, drawing on the underside using charcoal. We ended the day learning about Stonehenge and making replicas of the monument out of bourbon biscuits!
