Stone Age Project Homework

Dear Parents/Carers,

This half term our topic is Stone Age to the Iron Age. Therefore, I would like to challenge the children to be creative and take responsibility for their own learning at home.

I would like the children to select one of the following tasks and make it their own. The children will then present their homework to the class and discuss what they created, what software they used, what they learnt and finally what they enjoyed about their homework.

I would like the children to have some time to create their masterpiece, so for that reason, I am giving them until next Friday 14th December 2018.

Here is a simple list of ideas you could use – if you have any of your own ideas please feel free to use them!

• Cave homes. During the Stone Age, people lived in caves. If you had to live in a cave what would you like it to look like and what would be in it? Be as creative and imaginative as you like! You could either draw and label your own cave or maybe you could build your own 3D cave to bring in!
• Stone Age Shelters. Make your own stone age shelter using things in the house like dried spaghetti and marshmallows! Take a picture and bring it in!
• The Big Project. Research an aspect of pre-historic Britain; the Stone Age, Bronze Age or Iron Age and use what you find out to create a full project.  You can present this in any way you wish including a fact file or presentation.
• Cave Art. Make up your own story, it can be about anything you like but tell it through cave art pictures!
• Hunter Gatherer. Pick some fruit and make something delicious with them! Remember to take a picture!
• Make your own Stone Age movie – create a story or tell us how people lived in the Stone Age and film it!
• Stone Age people could not pop to the shop for food. Everything they ate had to be caught or collected.  Write your own recipe for a stone age dinner using the sort of ingredients that would be available to them
• ‘Rocky’ Road Cake. Design and make your own cake themed on our Stone Age topic.
• Write a story based in the Stone Age. You could even design a front and back cover for your story and write the blurb on the back if you like!
• Write an acrostic poem about the Stone Age. S is for…, T is for…, O is for… etc.
• Write a list of at least 5 questions that you would like to ask a Stone Age person.
• Make up a quiz with facts about The Stone Age. Make sure you also have the answers!

Parents/Carers – Homework is an important part of your child’s academic learning. Please support your child with their homework by helping them, sitting with them and showing an interest in what they have been learning.
