On Wednesday 23rd February 2022, Shetland class went to Ecclesbourne Primary school to experience how life was for Stone Age people and to mark the start of their upcoming topic ‘Like a Rolling Stone’.

Once the children were all sitting down sensibly, Twig told the children that the Stone Age was divided into three sections. The Paleolithic, the Mesolithic and the Neolithic. Then twig told the children that Stone Age people used flint to make fire.

After, Ocra took some dry grass and she blew on it while the children chanted ‘fire brother cumma.”

Finally, the children were asked to do some Stone Age jobs for example polishing stones and scraping bone marrow out of bones.

Jayqwarne from 3B commented, “I loved stroking the dead bird’s feathers and doing all the Stone Age jobs.”
