This week in History club we have been looking at Stonehenge. We talked about what archaeologists have learned about Stonehenge and what they think it was used for. The children had some fantastic ideas and applied their existing knowledge to justify their suggestions. Miss Whitehead and Mrs Moore were very impressed!
We then made our own Stonehenge using biscuits. We had lots of fun making and eating them! We also had a go at making Stonehenge using Lego.
Next week our focus will be the Ancient Egyptians.
