Year 3 had great fun dressing up for their Stone Age theme day. They had a go at soap knapping to make hand axes and spear heads. They made Stone Age Oatcakes, tie-died using natural dyes found in spinach, beetroot and turmeric and made their own paints using clay and mud dug up on the school grounds to create cave art.
"My favourite part was the soap knapping because it was fun"- Eva-Mae
"I liked the doing the knapping because I liked looking at the artefacts first and seeing if I could make the same shapes" - Freddie
"My favourite bit was making the oatcakes, it reminded me of porridge"- Nancy
"I was good at the cave art and mixing my own paints, I painted a Stone Age man with my fingers, my paint was made from clay"- Albie- Ian
"You had to tie the material up and then tie it up really tight and then we put it into the dye made of spinach, we're going to get it out the next day. I think mine will be green" -Stanley
