Year 5 travelled back in time to experience what life would have been like living in the Stone Age.  With help from our guide, Roy, we planted seeds, beans and peas using deer antlers.  Then, we built a shelter using sticks, leather and material for protection.  Roy showed us how we could make a fire using wood and sticks to create friction.  We also practised grinding seeds using big, heavy stones to make flour for our bread. Finally, we learned how to make butter using only cream and lots of muscle power to shake the liquid!
Back at school, we followed a recipe for making bread using some of the ingredients that would have been used in the Stone Age.  Once cooked, we enjoyed a warm slice of bread and butter!
