History - The Stone Age - Cave Art
After reading Cave Baby by Julia Donaldson and looking at historical sources of evidence, we drew our own cave drawing with charcoal on brown paper bags, so that they looked like they were drawn on cave walls. The class drew animals that they would have found during the Stone Age period like woolly mammoths and sabre tooth tigers.
The Story Machine by Tom McLaughlin
We began by making predictions about what we thought the boy would find when he opened the box.
We then created our own artwork for a page in The Story Machine.
