Stonehenge were moved across the landscape.

TopicOur topic work will focus on the Stone Age and the people and animals

that lived at that time. We will look at the geographical features of Britain at that time, and study the clothes, dwellings and tools that were used

then. This will link into our learning about Stonehenge – a Neolithic World Heritage Site that is just a few miles away from Woodford Valley.

We will look at the Stone Age and see where it fits on a timeline.
