Before delving into the rich history of Britain from the Stone Age to the Iron Age, students are prompted to consider images of Stonehenge, one of the most iconic prehistoric monuments. These images set the stage for a deeper exploration of the period through an educational video tailored for Key Stage 2 learners. The video serves as a visual aid to help students understand the monumental changes that occurred throughout these ages, from the earliest hunter-gatherers to the more settled societies of the Iron Age.

Understanding the Stone Age and its transition into the Iron Age is pieced together through various historical clues. Archaeological findings, such as tools, pottery, and the very structure of Stonehenge itself, provide vital information that helps us build a picture of life during these times. These artefacts, along with ancient burial sites and cave paintings, offer insights into the cultural and technological advancements that shaped early Britain. By examining these remnants of the past, students can begin to comprehend the significant developments and the enduring legacy of the people who lived through these prehistoric eras.
