Prep 5 - Early Man

Prep 5 enjoyed a wonderful Early Man workshop with Event-full Days on 17 January. Rita had brought along a variety of activities where the girls learnt how to weave, made replica axes, and completed stone rubbings.

They took part in a fact-finding treasure hunt in the Great Hall, searching through the displays to answer questions about what life was like for early man.

The girls worked hard as they tried to grind wheat into flour using a flat stone, and they explored how early man built tombs to honour their dead.

There was also clay pot making and an opportunity to make a section of wattle and daub fencing, but the highlights were definitely when the girls got to test out shooting a bow and arrow and cooking over an open fire. A brilliant day to bring together all our topic learning.
