I used this slideshow as a starting activity to help get the children thinking how many ways could you share 20 coins (using their knowledge of number bonds) - counters could be used to represent the coins and small hoops could be used for the children to try and find out as many ways as possible the treasure could be shared. (not about sharing equally - make that clear)
A little Stone Age quiz I created to sum up some of the areas covered. A fun group/ individual activity to help sum up learning about the Stone Age/ could be used for assessment purposes.
Stone Age Boy word mat which could be used to help remember what happened in the story or for being use as a prompt or predication as to what may happen in the story. The document can be downloaded and edited.
Pictures obtained from the book which was uploaded into a PDF file.
Worksheet with several countries listed, the task is to draw arrows from each country as to what continent they are on, atlases can be very useful and help develop map reading/ atlas skills. Extension to the task is to work out whether if you were visiting the country if you were to drive/take a plane/ or a boat there, getting the children to think about travel, would you drive to Australia for example? This worksheet can be used as a base and edited as to how you like. I used this after the easter holidays are the countries listed were places the class teddies had visited over the holidays.

The Worry Jar is a simple and supportive tool to help children manage their worries at school.
Sometimes, we all feel worried, nervous, or anxious and that’s normal. But when our worries feel too big or distracting, it can be hard to concentrate or enjoy the day. The Worry Jar gives students a safe place to let go of those thoughts by writing them down and “putting them away.”
Why it can be helpful:
Encourages emotional expression in a safe, private way
Helps students feel heard, even without speaking out loud
Reduces anxiety so children can focus better in class
Teaches healthy coping skills and emotional awareness
This resource supports children’s mental well-being and fits easily into any calm corner, SEL routine, or morning check-in time.
