you with your understanding of this thrilling subject!
SO SIT BACK AND ENJOY THIS HISTORIC RIDE!!!
*REMEMBER*
There will be a quiz at
the end, so make sure
you’re listening!
3. The Stone Age ate food such as… eggs, fruit, nuts, grapes,
fish, stinging nettles and plants.
They had hunters, fishermen and gatherers who went to
collect their food instead of growing it. They hunted, fished
and gathered, sometimes for a sweet treat they went and
got honey from beehives!
Men, women and children who lived by the rivers and sea
tended to go fishing, but later on caught eels, crabs and
lobsters. Eventually they learnt to grow their own crops and
became the first farmers!
4. IN THE COMMUNITY IN THE FAMILY
One of the rules in the community
of a stone age settlement was…
only the leader of the tribe could
organise the meetings in the
meeting place. Only men and
young boys could talk in the
meeting place. The Stone Age
believed in revenge, so if you cut
someone then they would have to
cut you, but no harder than they
had done to you!
In the households of the stone age
there were rules. Such as, if the
man in your home left your house
during a meal time then you
wouldn’t be able to carry on eating.
Do you follow the rules?!
5. When you come to
eating an animal then
you eat ALL of it!!
Bows weren’t invented
until Iron age.
You can use
stinging nettles to
make string.
Women tended to care
for their young and
prepared meals
instead of going
hunting.
All of their furniture
was made out of
stone. They made hats out of
rabbit skin.
6. SKARA BRAE STONEHENGE
Stonehenge is a famous landmark
in Wiltshire, England. 2 miles west
of Amesbury and 8 miles north of
Salisbury. No one actually knows
when Stonehenge was built! It has
been suggested that Stonehenge
was used as a religious temple.
Skara Brae is an old
stone age settlement in
Northern Scotland in a
place called Orkney, as it
is based on the coast the
weather is not very
pleasant. It is mostly
windy, rainy and stormy!
It was built in 3100 BC
around 5,000 years ago!
The people of Skara wore
animal skins during cold
seasons to keep
themselves warm.
