On Monday, Year 3 enjoyed a fascinating trip to Flag Fen, where they stepped back thousands of years to explore life in the Stone, Bronze, and Iron Ages.

The day began with a look at timelines, helping the children understand where these historic periods fit into the past. They then ventured into a reconstructed roundhouse, discovering how Stone Age people lived, worked, and stayed warm.

The children had plenty of hands-on experiences — they tried spear throwing at (pretend!) deer, learned how different parts of an animal were used, and even used berries to create rock art. Later, they got creative making clay pots, met some very unique sheep, and had a go at building a wattle and daub wall — an ancient technique used to make houses sturdy and warm.

Everyone enjoyed investigating real artefacts from the Stone, Bronze, and Iron Ages, gaining a deeper understanding of how people lived long ago.

Despite a little mud, the class had a wonderful day full of fun, learning, and discovery — truly bringing history to life!
