HISTORY
National Curriculum:
changes in Britain from the Stone Age to the Iron Age
Hunting and gathering freeze frame, discussions
What was lifelike in the Paleolithic and Mesolithic? Early humans started using stone for tools and weapons. They also used stones to light fires. Early people were hunter gatherers. They would hunt animals to eat such as woolly mammoths, reindeers and woolly rhinoceros, caught fish and gathered fruits and berries when they could. Early humans used the animal’s woolly coat to keep them warm in the winter and they would use animal horns as tools, weapons or even to help clear snow out of their path. People during this time built temporary homes so that they could move quickly to follow the animals and continue to hunt.
What key changes took place from the Neolithic to the Bronze Age? During the Neolithic Stone Age, people started to settle and not follow animals. They would plant the seeds from the plants they gathered and looked after them so that they would grow and use stone and bone tools to cut the plants, so that they could turn them into food and eat them. (Agriculture) People also captured smaller animals such as dogs, pigs and sheep. They looked after them so that they would have babies. This meant that they would have bigger groups of animals near their homes that they could milk, skin for hides/fur and kill for meat/bone for food and tools (farming)Stonehenge- They used this to help them determine the seasons and it is believed people worshipped the sun
How did daily life change from the Stone Age to the Iron Age? From the Stone Age to the Iron Age, daily life changed as people moved from hunting and gathering to farming and living in settled communities. In the Bronze Age, people built roundhouses, grew crops, kept animals, and used metal tools for farming and making jewellery. By the Iron Age, communities often lived together in hillforts, used stronger iron tools, and built both round and rectangular houses. Art and culture became more developed, with decorated pottery, metalwork, and personal items showing growing skills and creativity.
Hunter-gatherer – A person who gets food by hunting animals and gathering plants, fruit, and nuts.
Settlement – A place where people live for a long time; in the Neolithic period, people began building permanent homes.
Farming – Growing crops and keeping animals for food, which started in the Neolithic period.
Stonehenge – A famous prehistoric stone monument, believed to be used for worship and tracking seasons.
Bronze Age – A time when people started using metal (bronze) to make tools, jewellery, and weapons, leading to big changes in daily life.

Rocks
compare and group together different kinds of rocks on the basis of their appearance and simple physical properties
describe in simple terms how fossils are formed when things that have lived are trapped within rock
recognise that soils are made from rocks and organic matter
Debates about grouping, discussions, sharing views and ideas

How can we compare and group different types of rocks?Rocks can be grouped by looking at what they look like and how they feel. Some rocks are hard and smooth, like granite, while others are soft and crumbly, like chalk. We can also compare their colour, texture, and whether they let water through. These properties help us decide how rocks can be used.
What are fossils and how are they formed?Fossils are the remains or shapes of plants and animals that lived a long time ago. They are formed when something that once lived gets buried in mud or sand, which turns into rock over millions of years. The hard parts, like bones or shells, leave a shape or impression in the rock. Fossils help us learn about life from the past.
What is soil made from?Soil is made from tiny pieces of rock mixed with dead plants and animals, which is called organic matter. Rocks break down over time into small grains, and the remains of living things add nutrients. These ingredients make soil good for growing plants. Different soils have different textures and colours depending on the rocks and organic matter in them.
Rock – A hard, natural material found on Earth that can be smooth, rough, hard, or crumbly.
Fossil – The preserved remains or shape of a plant or animal that lived a long time ago.
Soil – A mix of tiny pieces of rock and dead plants and animals, used to grow plants.
Texture – How something feels, like rough, smooth, gritty, or crumbly—used to describe rocks and soil.
Permeable – When water can pass through a material, like some types of rock or soil.
