This session is designed to help teachers and other educators who teach the Stone Age topic. It is delivered by Lancashire Wildlife Trust using resources designed by the Dept. of History and Archaeology at University of Chester.
By the end of the session, teachers will have a greater understanding of the middle Stone Age period and be equipped with practical activities and interactive exercises to present the topic to children. Teachers will also gain knowledge about Lunt Meadows and the 9000-year-old Stone Age settlements and artefacts discovered on the reserve.
This training will take place indoors and outdoors at Lunt Meadow’s Nature Reserve, but the activities can be adapted to work in classrooms or school grounds. We will meet at the Learning Centre and there is a car park on site. Please bring a packed lunch. Refreshments will be provided.
Please wear appropriate footwear (walking boots are recommended) and dress for the weather.
This event is part of Lunt Meadow’s Presenting Mesolithic and Modern Life Project, made possible with the National Lottery Heritage Fund. The Presenting Mesolithic and Modern Life Project aims give visitors and the extended community an understanding of how humans have interacted with the landscape over thousands of years, how landscape changes affect human lives and how these choices influence our future. It is a 5-year long partnership between Lancashire Wildlife Trust, the Museum of Liverpool, the Dept. of History and Archaeology, University of Chester, and Soroptimist International Crosby.
