This term’s topic is called ‘Stone Age to Iron Age’. We will be investigating changes in Britain from the Stone Age to the Iron Age. To do this, the children will develop their understanding of both the Stone Age and the Iron Age through exploring key events and studying artefacts. They will also examine how human lifestyles evolved from hunter-gatherers to settled farming.
