Pre History:
Stone Age to Bronze Age
During our pre-history and stone age school trips, your group will experience life within a nomadic Neolithic family in search of a new homeland. Witness their transition from hunter gatherers to farmers, and develop some of the skills they would have needed to survive.
Our historical narrative will allow your children to experience Neolithic life and culture, as they move in search of new land. Your Stone Age KS2 children will experience drama and fun in the Stone Age activities that they do with us, all of which promote historical understanding, teamwork and problem solving.
