• The Stone Age Boy story and poetry related to Stone Age

Maths

• Measurement - making the salt dough; measuring the tusks and bones they created in Art

• Place value - understanding BC and AD

Humanities

• Stone Tools: spears, axes, and scrapers for hunting animals, cutting up food, and building shelters.

• Hunting and Gathering: People in the Stone Age were hunter-gatherers, they hunted wild animals like mammoths, deer, and fish for food, and gathered plants, berries, and nuts. They also used fire to cook their food, stay warm, and protect themselves from wild animals.

• Shelter: Early humans lived in simple shelters made from materials like animal skins, wood, and stone. Some even lived in caves, which provided protection from the weather.

• The Discovery of Fire: One of the biggest achievements in the Stone Age was the discovery of fire. This gave early humans the ability to cook food, keep warm during cold weather, and protect themselves from wild animals at night.

• Art and Culture: Even without written language, early humans expressed themselves through cave paintings and carvings. These paintings often showed animals and the people’s daily life. They also made jewellery from bones, shells, and stones.

Science

• Skeletons - through a hands-on, inquiry-based approach with the use of VR's . Investigate the role of skeletons in both animals and humans, focusing on how bones provide structure and protection.

• Animal skeletons - compare them to human skeletons, and explore the structure and function of bones.

• Rocks - different types (igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic) and their importance in shaping the Earth's surface.

• Students will deepen their understanding of the natural world, foster critical thinking, and enhance their ability to communicate scientific ideas.
