Cedar Class at The Rowan School travelled back thousands of years during an exciting Topic Week exploring life from the Stone Age through to the Iron Age. The week was packed with hands-on learning, historical discovery, and plenty of creativity as learners immersed themselves in early human history.
Throughout the three days, learners investigated what early humans needed to survive and took part in a wide range of practical activities that brought the past to life. They created their own cave paintings, designed simple tools inspired by those used in prehistoric times, and enthusiastically constructed a model of Stonehenge using biscuits, an activity that sparked teamwork, problem-solving, and plenty of laughter.
Another highlight was crafting Druid crowns. Learners explored the cultural and ritual traditions of the Iron Age while designing and decorating their own crowns, proudly wearing their creations to celebrate the end of the project.
Principal Snita Verma praised the class for their engagement and creativity, saying:
“Cedar Class embraced Topic Week with such enthusiasm, curiosity, and imagination. Hands-on projects like these deepen learners’ understanding and allow them to connect with history in meaningful and memorable ways. We are incredibly proud of their hard work and excitement for learning.”
Cedar Class demonstrated fantastic teamwork, curiosity, and historical thinking throughout the week, a brilliant start to the new school year.
