Stone Age History Day

Come and experience life in Stone Age Britain! Dress up in our imitation ‘animal skin’ tunics and step back in time as you take part in a variety of exciting activities such as:

  • Examining some stone age artefacts.
  • Getting resourceful with materials to build nomadic-style shelters.
  • Trying some ancient fire-lighting techniques.
  • Honing your animal tracking skills with our footprints of the past orienteering course.
  • “Foraging” for a Stone Age feast with our hunter-gatherer game: would your wild harvest feed or kill you?!

    They loved it from the initial dressing up to the footprints. Even the 1:1 joined in with class activities which doesn’t happen in the school environment.

    • I just had to email you to thank you all for such a truly fabulous day. The staff were friendly, enthusiastic and perfectly prepared for all the activities. The children learnt a huge amount and could not stop talking about it on the way home - 'best trip ever' was repeatedly heard!

    • “…we had a fabulous time as always - a trip to Carymoor is always, without a doubt, the best school trip! If I could come every term I would!”

    • I just wanted to say thank you SO much for a fantastic trip today. The children didn’t stop talking about what they did/learned and raved about the day. It was pitched perfectly and even staff learned something new! I will be recommending it to everyone I can. Brilliantly organised and engaging. Thanks again.
