How did the first people in Bucks live and how did their discoveries impact our lives today?
Learn all about the changing face of Bucks 4000 years ago with this interactive workshop. Through gallery exploration, object handling and hands-on crafts, pupils will explore how early humans lived and developed through the Stone, Bronze and Iron Ages.
In this workshop, pupils will:
-create a living timeline to understand the distinct ages of the Prehistoric period, how long they lasted and how humanity developed over time
-understand how archaeologists investigate and record their findings by taking part in their own mini excavation
-handle genuine Prehistoric artefacts and explore their various uses and properties
-discuss the various discoveries made in the Prehistoric period and understand the impact these discoveries had on the lives of Prehistoric people
-use clay and historical techniques to create their own Bronze Age beaker to take home
