stone-age Workshop

Our Stone-Age workshop is incredibly hands-on and engaging.​ In fact...it is our most-booked workshop!

Sessions

• Introduction - A Stone-Age homo-sapien  will wow the children with their animalistic behaviour and strange language!​ They will show the children some of their weapons and tools and try to communicate with them without using a common language!​
• Bones Investigation - The children will get to handle a plethora of real animal bones and decide what they are and which animal they have come from.
• Cave Drawings - Cave drawings will be looked at and then the children will emulate these using chalk and charcoal on slate boards.
• Artefact Investigation - The children will be shown a large range of Stone-Age artefacts, including flint tools, animal furs and Stone-Age equipment. Depending on number of classes, children will also get to handle some of these.
• Tools/Weapons Making - Using knapped flint, sticks, twine and feathers, children will make Stone-Age knives, spears, arrows, hammers, drills, axes and anything else they think up!
• Hunting/Archery - Using safety arrows, the children will get to have a go at archery! The targets are common animals that the Stone-Age people hunted: wild boar, stags, pheasants, badgers and hares.​
