The new school year started with a trip a long, long way back in time at Meadlands Primary School.
Year 5 pupils were introduced to a new topic, the stone age, by classroom staff who were dressed like people from that time.
Pupils discussed food from the stone age, how prehistoric people would fine it and what they would cook, with ideas including foraging for nuts and wild berries, hunting mammoths and spears and arrows.
The children decided bread could have been made by grinding wheat between stones to make flour and made their own, cooked over fire pits in the school’s wildlife area.
Before rejoining the modern day, children and staff sat around the fire to eat the bread they had cooked, along with berries and fruit collected from the school grounds.
Sophie McGeoch, headteacher at Meadlands Primary School, said: "Our year 5 children have been on a fantastic learning journey to the stone age, and I know they have more to discover about this fascinating prehistoric period over the coming weeks.
"I would like to thank everybody who has been involved in organising this learning experience, particularly our year 5 staff and Roger Howard, our horticultural adviser."
