Stone Age Skills

Kingsbury Water Park, near Sutton Coldfield - Not available December and January

History, English, Technology

Settlement, migration, technology, change and continuity

An opportunity for your class to travel back in time to the late Stone Age, to investigate Stone Age life, technology and skills, using the natural environment of Kingsbury Water Park and replica artefacts.

Children will be immersed in this story adventure, learning about the benefits and drawbacks of life as a hunter gatherer and farmer in the Neolithic period, helping a lost youngster choose which tribe to join.
