Year 3 Trip to Kent’s Cavern

The children handled replica and real artefacts found by archaeologists in the cavern including a child’s hand axe that was over 600,000 years old! We also linked in our Science topic on Rocks, admiring the amazing limestone cave walls and calcite stalactites and stalagmites.
