Year 3 enjoyed making a Skara Brae (remaining Stone Age settlements in Orkney, Scotland) settlements with their shoe boxes.  We discussed the foundations and how the land is above the settlements and why only the stone remains.  The children discussed the use of animal skins for purposes such as blankets and the importance of a fire pit in the centre of the room.  The children then went outside to work in groups using natural materials to recreate the settlements
