Stone Age Outdoor Workshop
The Wilderness Co
The Stone Age Workshops were originally conceived by one of our company directors over 10 years ago. Since then they've become a mainstay in schools, visiting the same school year after year. The workshops are incredibly effective hook into the topic and combine decades of outdoor learning experience with a passion for history, whether working with one class or two we ensure that the children are hooked for every second and come away with a smile on their face. We focus on a number of key areas that can be tailored for classes sizes and length of visit.Primitive Fire Lighting - We explore what made fire so important to our ancestors and explore how they made it.
Children take part in a number of demos with all the children taking part in some aspect.
Tools - We'll look at a number of prehistoric tools, their uses, manufacture and materials.
Shelter - Children we'll explore nomadic life through shelter building of traditional shelters (modern materials)
Food - We'll explore the diet of a hunter gatherer against that of later farmer culminating in a fire cooked bread.
Prices start from £290 per day, with either one of two classes. (for two classes the day is split in half)
