Full teaching PowerPoint and resources comparing and contrasting the similarities and differences of the Stone Age and Bronze Age.
Includes images to compare and contrast, videos to watch, quiz questions, pictures to cut out and stick in a venn diagram, then a writing opportunity after to apply understanding.
A selection of worksheets including a cloze procedure on the Great Orme mine, and a cut and stick activity to summarise the main changes in tools, technology, food and clothes across the 3 periods.
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 the past, I have used these lessons with children from across lower KS2 (years 3 and 4) however, with some adaptations they may be suitable for other year groups. All images are licensed for commercial use.

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)

Three week writing unit for Year 3/Year 4. A fully resourced and differentiated unit including all slides and activities. Drama! Talk! Reading skills! Grammar skills! Organising information in fun and inviting ways! It’s all ready to pick up and use.
I have included the full unit in a zip folder (if you buy, just use the zip!), as you cannot see it all in the preview. The children begin with an assessment task (a cold task) and then spend a week exploring a model text about the Stone Age and learning some key grammar skills for year 3 and 4. They go on to learn about structure and organisation whilst also learning about mammoths! Finally they use all of their new skills to create their own information text about the Iron Age.
The whole 15 lesson unit is full of games and activities focused on these skills:
I can show what I already know about writing an information text
I can ask questions to improve my understanding of the text
I can quickly find information in non-fiction texts
I can use conjunctions (when, before, after, while) to explain when things happen
I can use prepositions (in, on, inside, at, by, during, before, after) to explain when and where
I can spot the key features of information texts
I can use paragraphs to group information
I can use headings and sub-headings to organise an information text
I can present (show) information in different ways
I can use glossaries to check the meaning of words (repair ‘meaning breakdowns’)

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!
