Topic challenge: Weapon making

This week’s topic challenge is to create your own Stone Age weapon! Below is a brilliant video covering the Stone Age era, can you pick out any important information about the weapons?

During the Stone Age, people used sharpened sticks for hunting and protection purposes, they were vital for survival in the Stone Age. They were also used to hunt certain animals like wolves, foxes, bears, deer, hyena and much more.

Check out the weapons that have already been made… maybe you could do something similar?

You could design your Stone Age weapon on paper first, labelling the key parts of it. Next, you could manufacture the weapon by using cardboard, sticks, string, rocks or any other household items – just get your parents permission first!

I’m looking forward to seeing them!
