Stone Age for Year 3

With the National Curriculum in mind, I have created a high-quality history lesson designed to introduce Year 3 students to everyday life during the Stone Age. This lesson supports the National Curriculum’s objectives by helping children develop a secure understanding of chronology, explore how people lived in the past, and use historical evidence to understand changes over time.
