Thanks for joining me!

“Good company in a journey makes the way seem shorter.”

In my first post I’d like to talk to you about The Stone Age, one of my topics for this term in Year 3.

On Saturday 24th of November I went to the Stone circle in Castlerigg near Keswick in the Lake District.

We counted the stones and I think there were 49.

But how did Stone Age people get the stones up in the hills without trucks and roads? One idea is that they pushed the stones along using logs for rollers underneath.

It was built 4,500 years ago. The stone circle was used for ceremonies and as a trading place for things like stone axes, and animal skins for clothes.

To help with my topic on The Stone Age, our friends John and Helen sent me a piece of flint stone and chalk. Stone Age people would have used flint for making tools and chalk stone for cave painting.

John and Helen collected these from a place called the Jurassic coast in the south of England where very old rocks and fossils can be found. Thank you very much John and Helen!

I hope you like my first blog and if you know anything about the Stone Age please leave a message in the comments section!

Thank you for reading 🙂

  5. Hi Olivia
    We found your blog on volcanoes very interesting and very informative, uncle John and I visited the only drive in volcano in the world when we visited St.Lucia in the Caribbean, it had an awful smell like rotten eggs which was caused by the sulphur coming up from the volcano, we saw people bathing in the warm sulphur mud which is supposed to be good for your skin.
    Keep up the good work Olivia and we look forward to your next blog.
    Aunty Ann & Uncle John xx
