Creswell Crags

Year 3 visited Creswell Crags this week and we had such a fantastic time. We travelled back in time to the Stone Age period and developed our prior knowledge, learned in the classroom, through this hands on experience. 
Our first activity, was a cave exploration. We visited a real cave that was occupied by Stone Age people thousands of years ago. The children wore hard hats and had torches on their exploration and everyone was so brave and inquisitive during this activity. 

The second activity was shelter building, The children were put into groups and given the following equipment: 3 large sticks, some rope, a reindeer skin and 2 large pieces of leather. The children had to work together to build a shelter that would survive cold and harsh conditions. They did a fantastic job!
