History
We know that people from the Stone Age did not write - so how do we know about them?
Look at the picture below, what do you see, think, wonder?

Throughout history, paintings and carvings have helped us to understand people's achievements and things they consider important. We can use paintings as evidence of what life was like in the past.
We are going to have a virtual tour of a cave, where paintings have been discovered from 17,000 years ago, during the Stone Age. What do you see?

Animals were often painted on cave walls.
This might reflect how important hunting was during the Stone Age. People hunted horses, reindeer, bison and mammoths. It is also thought that people of the Stone Age believed in making contact with the spirits of animals. Some people believe that they were painted to attract animals.

| How did Stone Age people create these paintings? Cave artists ground up coloured rock into a powder. They used yellow ochre and red oxide rocks, as well as charcoal. After crushing it, they'd make a paste using spit, water or animal fat, which helped the paint stick to the cave walls. |  |
Time to create your own cave paintings!
Get some paper (scrunch it up if you want it to look more like the wall of a cave).
If you have colouring pencils, use browns, reds and oranges to create your art. If you haven’t got any colours, it’s fine to use a pencil.
Use the Stone Age cave art images that you’ve looked at to inspire you! Send us in pictures of your creations, we'd love to see them year4@bgfjs.org
