Toilet Roll Timeline

This afternoon we started our new topic for Spring term 'Stone age to Iron age'.  As a starting point we made a timeline.  To help us understand just how long ago the stone age was, we used toilet rolls,each with 200 sheets on.  Every single sheet of paper was worth 30 years in time. 

When we had finished adding important dates in British History onto our timelines such as WWI, WWII, the Battle of Hastings and of course the Stone age, Bronze age and Iron age we unravelled them down the corridor.  Our toilet rolls stretched right from the end of the Year 3 cloak room all the way past the first Year 4 classroom. 

We were very surprised that man has been around THAT long!
