Skills for Survival

In P.E. this week, the Year 3 children extended their learning in History on The Stone Age by practising some of the skills that would be necessary for their survival. Firstly, in a devised game, the children made sure that they could run away quickly from danger and then they practised throwing a spear (a javelin) accurately and powerfully at their prey. Stone Age people would have needed to run quickly whilst avoiding obstacles or avoiding others, so the Year 3 children completed obstacle courses before dragging their bison or deer to their cave. They did have to avoid being caught by a ferocious tiger (Mrs. K) on the way. Being able to jump high to grab fruit and berries off trees would be a useful skill so our Stone Age children practised that skill too. Well done Year 3, your skills would equip you for Stone Age life.
