This term we had the pleasure of putting on a year 3 and 4 production. As the children had really enjoyed our Creeping through caves topic in the Autumn term, we decided to find a production centred around prehistory. We discovered an assembly written about the Stone, Bronze and Iron Age with some very catchy tunes. With some adaptation and a few more songs added we created an informative, fun and entertaining play.

The Stone Age archaeologist took us on a journey of prehistorical discovery to see hunter gathers and mammoth hunters. We witnessed the discovery of fire and the windy night in 1800s when Skara Brae was unearthed. Of course, according to the Stone Age archaeologists, the Stone Age was the most important time in history until we meet the Bronze Age nerds. Now surely with the discovery of copper and tin it makes the Bronze Age the most significant time in history. Beakers, travel, trade and stronger weapons the Bronze Age archaeologists believe they have the best prehistory. Hold up the iron age archaeologist turned up. In the Iron Age forts were being built to protect villagers from invaders and weapons were being produced by blacksmiths. So, who convinced us about the greatest time in prehistory?

All the children were fantastic remembering their lines and stage directions. We had incredible props made by the support staff, a real-life mammoth that moved and a market stall to mention a few. The singing impressed all the audiences and lots of the children that had watched the performance commented on how much they like it. We discovered some budding actors at Beckers Green, look out for them in the future in the West end.
