P4/5 have been learning how, during the Neolithic, people started to move away from being hunter-gatherers and started farming. They began to build permanent homes. They worked in groups to build models of Skara Brae as well as Iron Age hillforts, roundhouses and crannogs.
Discovering Archaeology
P4/5 have been finding out about the work of archeologists and how they go about finding evidence of the past. They took part in a mini dig, tried to reassemble bits of old pottery and dissected a Stone age poo to find out what people ate long ago.
