This term, we have been exploring The Stone Age Boy, which inspired us to write our own portal diaries imagining a journey back to the Stone Age.

In art, we stepped into the world of cave paintings. We learned that paints were not used during the Stone Age, which began around 2.5 million years ago, and created our own artwork using this knowledge. Can you spot the animals hidden in our cave paintings?

To enrich our understanding of Stone Age life, we enjoyed an exciting Stone Age Day at Kent Life. The children took part in hands-on activities such as learning about Stone Age weapons, grinding flour using a quern stone, and meeting a variety of animals. A real highlight of the day was meeting Claw, Kent Life’s honoured Tribe Member. Claw shared fascinating insights into Stone Age life, including what people ate, wore, and did each day. The children were thrilled when Claw gave everyone a Stone Age name—some of our favourites included Toenail, Bear, and Puddle!

Meeting Claw, Kent Life's honoured Tribe Member, was a highlight. Claw generously shared insights into his Stone Age lifestyle—his diet, attire, and daily routines. The children were delighted as Claw bestowed Stone Age names upon each of us; among the names given were Toenail, Bear, and Puddle!
