Welcome to Year 6

The Stone Age and Iron Age

This next term we will all be learning about the Stone Age and Iron Age! The Stone Age and Iron Age are two important periods in history. The Stone Age is a period of prehistory that lasted from around 2.5 million years ago to about 3000 BCE. During this time, early humans used simple tools made of stone, such as axes and spears, to hunt and gather food. The Iron Age followed the Stone Age and lasted from around 1200 BCE to the arrival of the Romans in 43 CE. During this time, humans learned how to extract and work with iron, leading to the production of stronger and more durable tools and weapons.
