Pupils attended a workshop at Cliffe Castle to get an overview of the period from the Stone Age to the Iron Age in Britain and to evaluate some of the major changes during this time. Pupils explored how lifestyles evolved during the Stone, Bronze and Iron Ages, looking at the factors that led to Stone Age hunter-gatherers settling into early farming communities and how these settlements in turn developed further into the Iron Age. During the workshop they also looked at Roman, Victorian and present day objects.
