In this engaging lesson, children learn about the daily life of people in the Stone Age, through learning about:
-their diet/ how they found food;
-their clothing and how it was made;
-their housing;
-their culture and things that they made;
…across the Palaeolithic, Mesolithic, and Neolithic periods.
The learning is guided by a clear and colourful PowerPoint presentation, which guides students through the following step-by-step journey:
-Knowledge recall - gauging what children know/ can remember about the Stone Age, including the three main periods;
-Looking at a range of sources to establish what daily life was like in the Palaeolithic period;
-Reading a report to discover what life was like in the Mesolithic period;
-Watching an engaging video to find out what life was like in the Neolithic period;
-Completing a diary entry based on a day in the life of one of the periods that they have learnt about;
-Self-reflecting on the extent to which they feel they have met the learning objective.
Included is the comprehensive PowerPoint presentation (around 20 slides), the hyperlink for the video, the worksheet, and the paper sources (in both Word and PDF)
In the past, I have used this lesson with children in lower KS2 (years 3 and 4) - the key learning is aligned with curriculum expectations for history. All images are licensed for commercial use.
