This week, we explored how people hunted and prepared food during the Stone Age! The class learned about animals like buffalo and mammoths and talked about how people worked together to hunt and survive long ago.

Students worked together to imagine they had gone on a fishing trip. Using sticks, paper, and other materials, they designed and created the fish they “caught,” thinking carefully about size, shape, and how it would be cooked.

Next, we set up a Stone Age style campfire scene. The children helped build a roasting area using sticks and rocks, just like people might have done thousands of years ago.

Everyone took turns placing their fish over the fire, using sticks to hold them above the flames. This encouraged teamwork, problem solving, and lots of discussion about how early humans cooked their food.

The students stayed focused and worked cooperatively, adjusting the fish, fixing the fire setup, and helping each other when things fell over or needed changes.

To finish, we talked about why hunting and cooking together were so important in the Stone Age and how people relied on each other to survive.

It was a hands on and exciting way to bring history to life, and the class did a fantastic job working together and using their imaginations!
