As part of our theme on the Stone Age we decided to be hunters and gatherers, collecting brambles to cook and eat. Before we left school we did a risk assessment and we were very good at spotting what the dangers could be. The main one was crossing the road so we spoke about how to keep safe. We also decided that we needed to know what was safe to pick, as some berries can be poisonous. On the way we saw lots of berries growing in gardens that were poisonous. Brambles were picked, taken back to school, washed and cooked. We had to be careful of the stinging nettles – Mrs Summers was the first person to be stung! We looked for dockleaves and rubbed them on the sting to take the itch away.<\/p>\n

Stone Age people would not have had sugar but they would have had honey so that’s how we sweetened them.We all tried eating the brambles and kept the juice to paint Stone Age pictures with a stick
\n(the wrong end of a paintbrush). It was great fun!<\/p>\n
