In this engaging lesson, children note the key changes over time between the Stone Age and the Iron Age. They then use this information to help them to create accurate timelines.

The learning is guided by a clear and colourful PowerPoint presentation, which guides students through the following step-by-step journey:
-Knowledge recall - gauging what children know/ can remember about the Stone Age, Bronze Age and Iron Age, in order to secure a foundation for their learning;
-Use picture clues and key written information in order to establish the main changes in the UK over the ages;
-Use researching skills in order to find out additional information about key changes over time in ancient Britain;
-Creating their timelines, drawing on clear advice and logical steps;
-Self-reflecting on the extent to which they feel they have met the learning objective.

Included is the comprehensive PowerPoint presentation (23 slides) and the research template (provided in both Word and PDF)

In the past, I have used this lesson with children in lower KS2 (years 3 and 4) - the key learning is aligned with curriculum expectations for history. All images are licensed for commercial use.
