Harris Museum - Stone Age Trip.

Date: 24th Jan 2020 @ 7:34pm

On Tuesday we had a fantastic day at the Harris museum. We started off by exploring the museum, especially the open art exhibition. We had a story in the library, Mr Majeka - I told the children that when I was little this was a TVProgramme.  We have watched the first episode back in class, we loved it.  I’m going to get some more of the stories for the classroom.

After lunch we attended a workshop all about the Stone Age, we were archaeologists digging for bones.  We found enough for a skeleton, but what animal was it. We read fact cards about different animals and decided it was an elk.  In the museum we saw a skeleton of an elk which was found near Poulton le Fylde.  We looked at some skulls believed to be of a Stone Age man and woman and other artefacts from the Stone Age and Bronze Age.

The children were amazing and asked lots of great questions.
