P5AR Power Hour -Living in the Stone Age!
2nd Nov 2021
Hello from the Stone Age! We have been enjoying the outdoors in P5AR and we built a Stone Age hut.
First, we went to the secret garden and chose an area to build our hut. We picked somewhere sheltered from the wind and rain, under big trees.
Then we cleared the area using real Stone Age scrapers. We chose the longest willow sticks we could find, and drenched them in water to make them more supple.
Then we drove the sticks into the ground and stated weaving more sticks in. This created a sort of wigwam structure.
Finally we added branches and foliage to create a roof and make our hut waterproof and habitable. Have a look at the photos to see our work!
