Stone Age, Bronze Age and Iron Age


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.

This week, your task is to tell me which period you would prefer to live in and why. Write your answers in the comment box below.






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.

    they had fire to keep warm and cook.In the Iron age they went short
    or tall the where the right size but we are a
    little taller than the people from Iron age.
    I would live in the Iron age because they had lots of farms so
    that meant they had lots of food and not run out of carrots cucumber.They had water because how would they
    water the vegetable.

  2. Between these periods I would prefer the bronze age. In the iron age I don't think it was that fun because you knew how to use every thing but all that was left to do was, use the things that were invented. But the best thing that I like in the bronze age were the amazing cave paintings and I bet I would be famous because I am very good at art. And every day was a new day to enjoy and explorer. But the worst thing about the bronze age is the amount of people that died because the weren't trained to hunt and were eaten by bears, tigers and lions. Before in the stone age people had small houses but in the bronze age the houses were as big as digital age houses. Also the seats and beds were so comfortable because they were made out animal skin, the softest material in whole period of the bronze age.

    Stone Age,Bronze Age and Iron Age
    Info
    The Bronze Age began in the Near and Middle East, around 3300 BCE... and although the discovery of the bronze-making process was an important step in human evolution, there were certain other events that also occurred around that time, which were of even greater significance.Without
    doubt, the event which had the most profound impact on the course of western civilization was the Kurgan invasion, which brought radical changes to every aspect of life in the indigenous cultures. These included the establishment of violent and barbaric kingdoms whose prosperity was based upon the enslavement of innocent people, large-scale organized warfare, and the reduction in the status of women to mere property... supported by a religious belief-system in which violent male war-gods encouraged and sanctioned such behavior.

    I would live in the Bronze-Age because of the Bronze-Age warriors.Some of the tools they used where a Yetholm Shield, named after a site where similar shields were found in Scotland and a Bronze-Age helmet.Some
    archaeologists find treasure-Laden tomb of Bronze Age warrior.

      The Late Bronze Age Collapse, often alternately referred to as the Mycenaean Palatial Civilization Collapse, was a period of time — roughly between the years of 1250-1000 BC (3250-3000 years ago) — that was violent, and catastrophically disruptive with regard to cultures, social systems/practices, government institutions, languages, ethnic identities, trade routes, literacy, and technologies.

      During these years, all of the large urban centers and governing systems of the Mediterranean, the Aegean, and most of Southwestern Asia, collapsed — leaving behind, after a period of turmoil and mass migration, the isolated village cultures of the Greek Dark Ages.

      This period of time saw the end of the various Mycenaean kingdoms of the Mediterranean, the Hittite Empire in Anatolia and Syria, and the New Kingdom of Egypt in Syria and Canaan.`

    In the Iron age they leant how to cook and they leant how to melt
    gold. The Iron age some people were small or tall but he small people weren't as little as a ant.I think that the Iron Age is
    better than the Stone Age and the Bronze Age.In the Iron
    Age the girls worn dresses like animal skin and when the girls wore it inside it was smooth and a litte bit rouge boys were the same
    but some boys were only up to there heap or knees.The Iron age
    people lived in cave or they just made a cave there self but in the Iron Age other people do not live in caves some of them build there own houses. I think iron ages are really fun. I would like to lean

  7. I would rather live in the Iron Age because the weapons were really strong and it was easier to hunt. If I was in the Iron Age I would not have to build stone henge and no one would tell me what to do so I could go on adventures. They had access to lots of different foods. They invented farming so I could eat any fruit and vegetables furthermore they were amazing miners so I could get rubies, emeralds and sapphires.
    However I don’t like the ways of communication with each other. They expressed themselves by making high pitched noises which I couldn't imagine myself using this way of communicating with my friends.

  11. I would prefer to live in Bronze age when the stone is replaced by bronze. The Bronze Age is the name given to the period of time between the Stone and Iron Ages.I like it because its specific type of metal , which is very shiny. In that age they made tools and weapons.Some of the best known Bronze Age civilisations include those of the ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, Mycenae, the Indus Valley and the Shang Dynasty in China.
    The potter's wheel and textile production meant that better pottery and clothing could be produced.The Bronze Age in Britain lasted approximately 1,700 years.

  15. I would prefer to live in in Bronze Age ßecause they made fire they used animal stomachs to carry water , they used animal skin to make clothes.They used everything around them to help them survive.

    First metal workers
    People learn bronze tools and weapons.Bronze took over stone and is much stronger.Bronze Age started in the2300 BC.

    Houses
    Their roofs are made of wattle and dwarb it is cow poo and other disgusting things.It protects the people from rain.In their house they have a fire in the middle they have beds around.I think living in a cave is better because you don't have to build a house.In my opinion I think Bronze Age is better than Stone Age and Iron Age because they are very creative people.

  17. I would like to live in the Iron age because people's life was a bit more easier than in the Stone age or Bronze age. People began to make lots of useful tools out of iron. Iron age farmers grew crops and vegetables. They kept goats and pigs and had large herds of cows and flocks of sheep. They use sheep wool to make clothes. They prepared for winter with grains and they started making bread. Meat or fish could be preserved by salting or smoking. They enjoyed music and poetry.The thing I don't like about the Iron age is that it was lots of violence. Men and boys were trained as warriors. Many people lived in hill forts to keep safe from attacks.

  18. Adarsh :I would rather live in the Iron Age because they are the richest in all three famous periods. Compared to the other two periods the Iron Age were the richest and had a lot more tools than the others.
    DAILY LIFE
    Coins were invented in Bronze Age but were developed in Iron Age .In the Iron Age they don’t only use iron. They also use stone and bronze.
    I don’t like the toilet bit because they don’t even have toilets!!!!!!!!!!!!

    CLOTHES
    Poor men wore animal skin from their knees to their hip but rich men wore a full body covering piece of animal skin to keep them warm. Poor women and rich women wear the same clothes.
    They wear a full body covering piece of animal skin………………………………………..@d@rsh
