Year 3 had a brilliant day at Kents Cavern last week.
The day was jam-packed full of many learning opportunities, including handling real and replica artefacts (deer skin, Neanderthal skulls and flint hand-axes), following a Stone Age trail around a woodland and delving into the unknown of the Kents Cavern cave. They really did make the most of every moment!
Exploring the cave and identifying stalactites (or were they stalagmites?) was a real highlight for many children. We were so proud of the brave few who overcame their fear of the dark to stay in the cave when the lights went out - a true taste of what life was like in Stone Age Britain!
