Kingfishers

Welcome to Kingfishers Class!

Autumn Term 2020

 

This term, our whole school topic is ‘A long time ago…’

 

Covering around 10,000 years, we will be exploring changes in British prehistory.

How did people survive and thrive?

What weapons and tools did they use?

What were their beliefs and customs?

What can archaeological evidence tell us about their homes and lifestyles?

 

From Palaeolithic cave dwellings and Neolithic henges, to Bronze Age archers and Iron Age lake settlements - we will use timelines, artefacts and a range of archaeological evidence to investigate life in Britain.
