A powerpoint I have put together of some of the key events leading up to the Iron Age. Not exhaustive, and hopefully historically accurate in the most part. I know that some aspects have many possible reasons, like the extinction of the Neanderthals, and I intend to explain these alongside the activity. I am going to use the slides as a drama activity putting together a timeline video sketch. If I have made any glaring mistakes, please comment so I know to amend. Please bear in mind I am no history expert, just researching my topic area so all constructive feedback welcomed!

Venn diagram with images for children to cut out and stick in the correct sections of the venn diagram. The images are all related to Stone Age and Bronze Age and of course, some are related to both. Quick activity that doesn’t take up too much of your lesson but clearly shows their understanding.

Simple Timeline of Human History: This simple timeline of human history was produced to coincide with my Primary School Prehistory (Stone Age to Iron Age) school workshop. This timeline briefly charts 300,000 years of human history. We start in Prehistory, including the age(s) of stone (there were at least three, depending on where in the world you are) and continue through the Bronze Age and Iron Age in to… History (when people started writing things down) with the Romans, Saxons & Vikings and so on… The timeline has a UK focus and contains a selection of key notes and dates along the way, plus visual summary of the proportion of human history for which, we have relied on stone tool technology (hint: more than 99%)!

This set of resources is designed for teaching the KS2 Stone Age History unit. It includes an engaging presentation, differentiated worksheets and stickers. The activity helps children categorise foods into those ‘hunted’ and those ‘gathered’. This reinforces the idea that Stone Age humans were primarily ‘hunter-gatherers’. There are three differentiated worksheets: - one with vocabulary for less able children - one with fill-in-the-blank sentences using commas in lists - one which extends more able children by asking them to explain how Stone Age humans hunted The stickers will print out on Avery address labels (21 per page).

In this lesson, children will learn what Stonehenge is and where it was discovered. They will learn how it was likely built and all about its structure.

Finally, they will carry out a debate on the mystery of why Stonehenge was built, arguing their theory over all of the others. All resources for this lesson are provided.

This Stone Age, Bronze Age and Iron Age knowledge organiser is designed for an LKS2 Class (year 3/4). This knowledge organiser is designed to introduce the children to the topic, encourage independence in learning and provide children with the key information they will learn more about during the topic. The sections included are the key events of the three periods, key vocabulary and some useful images/ diagrams.

Use either the Interactive Timeline or the PowerPoint versions of the timeline to help reinforce a sense of chronology and learn about how Britain changed from the Stone Age to the Iron Age. The Notes sections in the PowerPoints contain additional information for teachers along with a range of activity ideas such as: Looking at the information about the different species of humans that have lived in Britain. Linking to science work looking at evolution: why did some species survive and others not? Linking to science work about climate change: what do you think our ancestors did when the climate became colder? This could then be put in context by asking: how is the climate changing today, what effects might it have on us?
