Outdoor Learning
The children have been learning about the Stone Age and how cave paintings were an important historical source. We have used the outdoor area to explore what it was like to create a cave painting. We use coloured chalks similar to the colours used by people of the Stone Age, and created our own 'cave paintings'. The children realised how difficult it was to add detail when using the outdoor environment to draw onto.
'It helped me realise how the Stone Age people felt when they were painting. The floor was rough and it was hard to draw so I bet they felt frustrated,' Adam.
'It helped me to understand how the Stone Age people communicated with each other. I learnt how it felt to use an age old method and feel the texture of the material,' Oliver.
