The children will record their findings using simple scientific language, use results to draw simple conclusions and raise further questions. 
Our Topic this term is The Stone Age and it will be history focused. Our learning challenge question for this term is ‘How can we run a museum to share the History of Britain and the World?’ and our final learning outcome is to contribute to the school museum. In order to be able to do this, the children will use different resources to research the Stone Age period and how people survived.
