Stone Age Day
Transport your students back in time with a Stone Age Day at COAM. This themed day is suitable for both Key Stage 1 and Key stage 2 students.
The day includes two workshops - one introducing the Stone Age and another making Stone Age style tools. Through immersive, hands-on activities like pigment making, shelter building and spear throwing, your children will discover the challenges of daily life that faced early humans. Here at COAM, we focus on the Mesolithic period which took place in Britain between approx. 8,800 and 4,500 BC. This themed day is perfect for igniting their curiosity about history and ancient cultures.
