Junior Primary Students Build Stonehenge Model

Just a few weeks ago junior primary students did the Building Stonehenge Activity, as part of our Integrated History/Geography Program for Primary.

Seville Road State School on Brisbane’s south-side kindly sent us a photo to show you. This class used wooden blocks they happened to have, other classes use collected cardboard boxes.

Our materials are designed to provide a more engaging learning experience for students as well as teachers. Here, students are examining different types of calendars and ways of measuring time. Stonehenge is given as an example of a solar calendar. This leads naturally into a discussion of solstices, equinoxes and seasons.
