Stone Age Food Bags, Clay Pots and Necklaces

We all got very creative sewing food bags with bone needles ( bodkins) and animal gut (wool). Once we had sewn up two sides we had to attach a handle and then decorate the front and back with Stone Age symbols and patterns.

Stone Age clay coil pots were really good fun to make but our hands got very messy!Stone Age people would have collected their clay from river beds. We learnt how to coil the clay round and round the base. Once these were completed we composed a set of instructions, learning that we need to start each step with a bossy verb. We then worked in pairs to put the steps into the correct sequence.

Beads were made from clay then allowed to dry. We then chipped the top off limpet shells and designed a necklace which we then threaded. Just look at how proud we are of our work!
