Information about prehistoric Britain (for KS2), featuring Michael Rosen poems, timeline and a selection of classroom activities/lessons.
This information pack is designed to facilitate the teaching of prehistory (Stone Age to Iron Age) in primary schools (ages 7-11). It has been put together by a team from the Universities of Manchester and Reading and the British Museum, with input from teachers across the UK.

Highlights:
• Poems by Michael Rosen – inspired by three real prehistoric burials
• YouTube videos of Michael Rosen reading the poems out loud
• Artworks inspired by the same burials
• Prehistory timeline
• Key facts about the Stone Age, Bronze Age and Iron Age
• Suggested class activities and links to other areas of the curriculum
• Photos of real objects buried with the dead
• Links to other websites where you can find out more about prehistory and burial archaeology
