Since the beginning of term, we have been learning about the Stone Age, Bronze Age and Iron Age. We have been finding out about the homes, tools, food, clothes and structures that were made by the people that lived during these periods.
Here are some websites where you can find a bit more information;
I would prefer to live in the Iron Age because the people that lived during this period were much more sophisticated than the previous two periods. The people of the Iron Age had begun to farm vegetables and animals, so they had access to many different types of food. They were also able to use fire, which meant they were able to cook their food in the large iron pots they had made themselves. Furthermore, the Iron Age people had invented soap, so they were able to keep themselves clean, and they decorated their bodies with jewellery. They also had access to much better tools and weapons, which made hunting and fighting much easier.
However, these people had to live alongside the Celts. The Celts were a ferocious group of people who had access to very sophisticated weapons. They enjoyed fighting and this led to many bloody battles with the people of the Iron Age.
Art Week
After half term we will be having another Art Week. Our focus will be digital media and we will be creating pictures of our fears. Over half term we would like you to think about what you are most afraid of and try to find the proper name for that fear. For example, a fear of spiders is called arachnophobia and a fear of the dark is called nyctophobia.
