Year 3 - History Museum Loan Box

Date: 19th Nov 2025 @ 4:56pm

This week, we had an exciting opportunity to dive deeper into our History topic through a museum loan box, filled with fascinating artefacts from the Stone Age to the Iron Age. The children were captivated as they explored each item up close, discussing what it might have been used for and how life would have been very different thousands of years ago.

Inside the box, we examined a range of tools and everyday objects, including an antler tool, sewing kit, hand axe, blades and scrapers, fire kit, sickle, spoke shave, pot, coins, bone needle, and a purse. The children were especially intrigued by how people created tools from natural materials and used them for hunting, preparing food, building shelters, and making clothing.

This hands-on experience really helped us visualise how early humans lived, survived, and adapted. The artefacts sparked brilliant discussions and thoughtful questions, showing just how engaged the children are with this topic.

We look forward to continuing our journey through prehistoric Britain over the coming weeks!
