We have been continuing our learning about British prehistory by learning about life in the Neolithic (new) Stone Age and exploring different features of that time such as, what was Stone Henge built for? Was it a monument to the sun? A place for food and festivals? A religious venue for burials? The children used cubes to recreate the structures then we had a class debate about its most likely use.
In art, the children created a silhouetted Stone Henge, exploring different colour combinations for their pastel sunset and using black sugar paper to recreate the stone structures. The end results look fantastic and will be taken home as the children’s calendars for 2024.
