Dear Mrs Frost,Thank you for sending us your lovely , interesting exhibit. l really fort that the boneswere not from the Stone Age because they were to wet in my opinion I think they look a bit likechicken bone or turkey bone. The mammoth bone that we saw was much bigger than them bonethe mammoth bones was gigantic even the baby ones was big there definitely not from that timeperiod.I think that the mammoth rock might even be from the Stone Age because Stone Age they didcave painting maybe in that time period they mite of live in Cardin mill valley. You are very lucky tofind all them exhibit. Soon I will be going to Cardin mill valley .The nails might even be from the Stone Age because they were made in the iron Age the nailsmust of been there a long time.Yours sincerely

Dear Mrs Frost,Thank you for sharing your artefacts with us. We found them fascinating and weenjoyed examining them so much. From the bones to the fossil, we are happy to inform you about what we found out .The bones were very interesting but sadly they were not from the Stone Age. This is because when we went to the Shrewsbury museum, the mammoth bones were brown and all dried up, unlike your bones, which began to decay. In my opinion, the glass beads are not from the Stone Age because they didn't have glass back then and they were all the same size, suggesting that they must have been made by a machine! The nails are definitely are not from the Stone Age because they didn't have metal until the Iron Age.However, you may be pleased to find out that the fossils are not from the Stone Age but that is not a bad thing because it is much older (by so much I mean unbelievably older!) the fossil is called a trilobite and is remarkably 500 million years old! Right now that is out of the way. The stones could be that from that time period because when we went to Shrewsbury museum we found out that the Stone Age people used flint to make their tools, and one of them looked like a arrowhead.So one more thanks from me and I really hope you found this useful.

Yours sincerely,

Dear Mrs Frost,Thank you for sending us the brilliant things you found. We were all inspired. Also,thank you for commenting on the blog. All of us have looked very closely at the artefacts and these are my opinions:The glass beads: because they never had glass, and there're about the same size. It's looks like itwas made by a machine. So from my opinion it's not from the Stone Age.The metal nails: same again they didn't have metal until bronze/Iron Age so same again not fromthe Stone Age.The drawing on the rock: now this has a chance of being from the Stone Age because there's like a mammoth on it so we think it's from there period.I don't know about the flint stones. But nearly everyone said' they might be arrowheads ' so I'mgoing to leave it like that. The bones, definitely not, because they absolutely smelt. So Mr Hunt hat to throw it away. So we know about that.The fossil: is called a trilobite. It used to be one of the first sea creatures, and it's about 500MILLION YEARS OLD! I'm so jealous. But we can guess what it is.Thank you for everything you have doneYours sincerelyDamien Challinor (8 nearly 9)




Dear Mrs Frost,Thank you the fossils were very fascinating Thanks for letting us look at them - youmust trust the class! I'd like to share my opinions with you.The most interesting fossil was the arrow heads because it might be a Bronze Age or Stone Agemight be a Stone Age as a arrow with a bow.We looked at the chicken bones but they were modern so they smelled horrendous so Mr Hunthad to chuck them away!The Stone which had a mammoth carved on it was from the Stone Age because some otherpeople wouldn't of none that they existed .The glass beads were not from the Stone Age because they didn't have glass in the Stone Agetimes.

Yours sincerely,

Dear Mrs Frost,Thank you for all the wonderful comments on the class blog and the artefacts yousent us. Firstly, the bones,glass pebbles and nails are not from the Stone Age because the bonesstarted to smell and rot so Mr Hunt had to throw them away! The glass pebbles are not from theStone Age because glass wasn't made in the Stone Age. The nails have the same reason as thepebbles for not being from the time period.However, the cave painting and the Flint maybe from the Stone Age because in thetime period they did do paintings of woolly mammoths and did use flint as weapons!Finally,there is the fossil,sadly it isn't from the Stone Age but it is up to 500 millionyears old! The picture is of a Trilobite . Thank you once again.Yours sincerely,

Dear Mrs Frost,Thank you for sending in your interesting artefacts. In our class, we are all veryinterested in them. Some are from the Stone Age and some are not.I think the bones aren't from the Stone Age because, after two or three days of keeping them in abox, they decomposed and Mr Hunt was forced to throw them away!In my opinion, the glass beads are not from the Stone Age because they didn't have glass in thattime period, only in the Iron Age .The metal nails aren't from that time period because metal was invented around the Iron Age sothe three nails are not from the the Stone Age period.I hope this letter is useful , thanks again for sending in the artefacts .Yours sincerely Ella s (9).




Dear Mrs Frost,Thank you for sending a reply back to us We thought the fossils might be from theStone Age. I enjoy the artefacts the other children thought they might be from the Stone Age.The flat stone might be normal but the bones were not from the Stone Age also the flip Stonemight be arrowheads I think the drawing of the mammoth on it the metal nails isn't from the StoneAge. The glass beads isn't from the Stone Age because they didn't have glass at that time I hopewe can get back thanks again for sharing with us.Yours sincerely,Eric Preston.(9)




Dear Mrs Frost,Thank you for the fantastic artefacts we thought they were interesting.was favourite was the nails and bones I think it was an amazing that they were alive millions ofyears ago. I think the bones were from a mammoth toe-mammoths were in the Stone Age the nails were definitely not from the Stone Age they were from the Iron Age. Flint they chipped their flint to make their tools and weapons.One day I want you to come to Greenfields primary school. I might go to Cardimall valley.

Yours sincerely,

Ethan Dudley




Dear Mrs Frost,Thank you for all the artefacts that you gave us,we all looked at them and enjoyedthem! These are our opinions about them we all know that the bones wasn't from the STONEAGE!!! Because they were going smelly after a while so Mr Hunt decided to chuck themaway.However you may be pleased to learn that the small pieces of Flint which you sent uspossibly could be the STONE AGE !!! Because they could be arrow heads.The glass beadscouldn't be from the STONE AGE!!! Because glass was not invented in that time period!We like allthe fossils that you gave us (THANK YOU !!!) one of the fossils may be over 500040000 years old.On one of the rocks there was a drawing of a mammoth so it at be a cave painting or a child couldhave draw a mammoth on it . The nails couldn't be from that time period because metal was not invented in STONE AGE!!! It may be from the Iron Age though.We would like to ask you some of questions (if you don't know them it's ok). What Food did they eat?.What part of animals did they eat?.What did they use to eat with?.How did they make houses?We are impress with all the artefacts and are happy with our opinions! And we appreciate youreading our letter and sending us the artefacts. Thanks for reading our letter (we all love your letter's that you send to us ) THANKSWe are happy to be your friend .we hope you like our letter.we hope that you like /love everyoneelse's letter.Yours sincerely,Eva (8) and Bethany (8)




Dear Mrs Frost,Thank you for the artefacts we, really enjoyed investigating them. Personally ourfavourite was the cave scratching picture of a mammoth. We thought the glass pebbles weren'tfrom the Stone Age because they didn't have any glass.The bones were most definitely not human bones and not mammoth bones but they started to really smell so Mr Hunt chucked them away.Next the nails are once again not In that era because metal didn't come till the Bronze Age or IronAge. The ancient fossil (we thought it was a trilobite) from about five-hundred million years ago.We thought the stones could have been arrow heads or little bits broken off tools.Now last but not least the scratched mammoth picture on the stone that we thought could be Stone Age because of the picture of a mammoth and mammoths were around at that time before they were extinct. We have got some questions to ask you what's your opinion on the artefacts and which people are the bearded people. Thanks again for the artefacts we enjoyed looking at them. How long ago did you find them?Yours sincerelyROBBIE NOLAN AND HARRISON LLOYD-SMITH




Dear Mrs Frost,Thank you for commenting on our class blog.When Mr Hunt told us about it wewere amazed.In my opinion the glass beads could not of been from the Stone Age because theydidn't have glass and the shaping on each are exactly the same so they were probably made by amachine.The nails couldn't be Stone Age either for the same reason as the glass beads! In myopinion the picture of the mammoth was truly amazing and probably Stone Age because of themammoth on the rock ,maybe a bit before.The Flint stone could well be arrow heads or maybe just chipped away stone. Now the bones: at first we thought the bones were MAMMOTH bonesbut1.they were two small and2.after a few days of having them they began to decompose so MrHunt was forced to throw them away so they obviously we're not Stone Age they were much more recent. Now one of the impressive ones the fossil.It was definitely millions and millions of yearsbefore the Stone Age. The actual creature is called a trilobite if you didn't know already. Thank you again for everything you have inspired me to go to Cardingmill valley.Yours sincerely,Honey Trentham(8)




Dear Mrs Frost,Thank you for the letter. I am sorry to say that some of the artefacts aren't

Stone Age, and some might be from the Stone Age. These are the ones that aren't from inthe era: the bones aren't from the Stone Age because after a few days they really reeked.The glass beads and the metal nails were also not from the Stone Age because glass andmetal were only used after the Stone Age and the trilobite(at least 500,000,000 years old).These might be from the Stone Age: The stones and the cave painting. I hope you findthis information useful.Thank you again for the stuff.

Yours Sincerely,

Issac Wheelden




Dear Mrs Frost,Thank you for bringing the interesting stuff to school. We thought they were veryfascinating fossils and other stuff. We think the nails are from the Bronze Age not from the StoneAge. Because there made out of metal. I think the flint is from the Stone Age. Because they arevery sharp and there not made out of mettle there made out of mostly black smooth stone. Themammoth looked like it was from the Stone Age as well. Because it's just like the people who got a chalk stone and they probably drew a mammoth on to another stone or rock. Mostly everybodythought that the fossil on the stone wasn't from the Stone Age or the Bronze Age. We thought itwas when just the see creatures was living in the see. Manley everybody thought that the fossil on the stone was before the dinosaurs. Thank you again for sending the interesting stuff in.

Yours sincerely,

Dear Mrs Frost,We very much appreciate you sending all of the Exhibits for us to look at anddiscuss them. It even plan us a lesson!(It was that)The glass beads and nails couldn't be from the Stone Age because they didn't haveglass, neither did they have metal till the Bronze Age.(As also as)the nails and glass ,the fossil can not be from that period.It would be from somewherenear 500 hundred, million years ago which is called a trilobite!The drawing of a mammoth is possibly to be from in that era, although it could be drawn not thatlong ago.In my opinion I think that it is just some stones that have chipped away.The bones is definitely not from the Stone Age because it decomposed and would done that agesago.I hope you have found out a lot more about the Stone Age I am lucky that I get to go to go in yearsix, but I have still got two whole years to go.Yours sincerity,Joe Evans(8)




Dear Mrs Frost,Thank you for all the lovely and amazing artefacts that you sent us!. They werewonderful! We All think that the artefacts are really cool and amazing!! I think one of them couldactually be from the Stone Age! We really appreciate you giving us amazing artefacts .My favouriteartefact was the stone with the mammoth on it. Also I'm afraid that the bones are definitely not fromStone Age as they only just starting decaying! The small pieces of the flint could be arrowheads.I'm really happy you gave us Amazing artefacts and in my opinion the bones are really decayedand it's like there rotting. And the nails are metal and they didn't have metal back then so the nailsaren't from Stone Age. They also didn't have glass back then so the glass beads weren't fromStone Age. We also saw some. similar weapons in the exhibit of Shrewsbury Museum. It's reallynice of of you that you gave us artefacts from the Stone Age.Thank You So Much!Yours Sincerely,Joshua Snow. (8)




Dear Mrs Frost,Thank you for the letter and the artefacts you shared with us, we were very excitedto see them . My opinion is that the glass beads were not from the Stone Age because they didnot have glass . I think that the nails aren't from the Stone Age because metal was not invented.We all knew trilobite wasn't ever because they are about five hundred million years old we alsoknew that the bones weren't from this time period because they stank and were much dryer at the museum and bigger. The stones are possibly from the Stone Age. I think they are flint but notcompletely sure also we were not sure if the mammoth stone was a cave painting or not .We know this information because we have been learning and looking at the Stone Age .Do you know any more about them ?How tall do you think they were ?How old do you think they were when they died?We really like looking at your messages and think they are interesting . Do you like going tocarding mill valley?Have you seen any more things there ?Thanks for listening , hopefully this helped you a bit.Yours sincerely,Kira Thompson (9)




Dear Mrs Frost, Thank you for the great artefacts. They were all great in my opinion but they

weren't all Stone Age. We all looked very closely at the artefacts with great interest, the best ofthem all was the fossil. Stone Age. It's even older than Stone Age because it's a trilobite fossil!From 50, 000,000 years ago ,the lovely mammoth drawing is in my opinion is a great Stone Ageartefact. I can't say that all of poplar class was in agreement because the ideas varied. The bonesare still decaying so they are quite recent. They began to really smell so we had to throw themaway. The Glass beads maybe from the late Victorian period though. The Nails are definitely notfrom the Stone Age because they didn't have metal back then. The little bits of sharp stone arepossibly arrowheads.You are very very lucky to have found the artefacts. I hope you find this information useful.Yours sincerely,

Leah Lee




Dear Mrs Frost,Thank you for the amazing artefacts that you sent us.We looked at them in alesson and thought the glass beads were not from the Stone Age because they didn't have glassat that time.Unfortunately the bones started to decompose so Mr Hunt was tempted to throw them away.The nails are definitely not going to be from the Stone Age because metal was not invented in that period.The cave paintings could possibly be from the Stone Age or the modern days.The trilobite wasn't from the Stone Age ,it was the first sea animal on earth.However in my opinion the Flint stones were from the Stone Age because they could be arrowheadsYours sincerely,Lily and Gracie (8)




Dear Mrs Frost,Thank you for your letter and your interesting exhibits. We'd like to give you ouropinion on them. Firstly, the bones are definitely not from the Stone Age because they smeltso badly, ( that Mr Hunt had to throw them away ) The rock was bumpy and the pattern waslovely, it might have been from that period of time. The little piece of flint might have been at that time.The glass beads were not in that period of history because they did not have glass. Do you likefossils? What day did you find them?Matilda went to carding mill valley! We hope this information is usefulYour sincerely,Matilda and Ellie-mae




Dear Mrs Frost,Thank you for the fascinating artefacts and letter . We examined them well they arevery interesting. First of all the bones weren't from the Stone Age because Mr Hunt had to throwthem away because they reacted! We know that the glass beads are not from the Stone Agebecause they didn't have glass then and they look like they've been made by a machine. We knowthe fossil was a trilobite and they were alive 5000 million years ago. The little stones might be from this time period because they might be arrow heads. The stone with a picture on might be from back then because the picture looks like a mammoth and they had mammoths back then. The nails weren't from the Stone Age because iron wasn't made until the Iron Age.Thanks again for the Stone Age artefacts.Kind regards,Mischa (9) Jayden(8)




Dear Mrs Frost,Thank you for your letter following our trip to the Shrewsbury museum the metalnails in my opinion I think that the nails were not from the Stone Age because The nails were metal and metal was not in the Stone Age. The glass beads were not Stone Age because they didn't have glass in the Stone Age and the bones was not Stone Age because the box that it came in and Mr Hunt hid the bones for 3 or 4 days and when he opened the box he looked at the bones and the pot was all mouldy and when he smelt it he had to throw them away and that is how they are not Stone Age. The drawing on the rock and I think that it is in the same period because mammoths was in the same period and there was a mammoth picture on it. The flint stones might be in the same period because they might be arrow head . The fossil -I think it is Stone Age because it might have been a mammoths tooth that had bitten into it.Yours sincerely,Paige (8)




Dear Mrs Frost,Thank you for sending us such fascinating artefacts. Following our trip toShrewsbury museum, we found it very interesting to look at your objects.We thought that the nails and the glass pebbles were NOT from the Stone Age because they didn't have any sort of metal and were all the same size. The glass pebbles weren't from the Stone Age because they didn't have glass and were all the same size, suggesting that they were made by a machine.I'm afraid the bones were not from the Stone Age because they were moist and not a light brown.Unfortunately Mr Hunt had to throw them away because they had started to decompose.The Flint stones could have from this time period but also could not be from the Stone Age.The reason why they couldn't be from that period of history is because they could just be parts ofFlint.Now the reason why they possibly could be from the Stone Age is they could be arrowheads.In our opinion we think that the cave painting could be from this era because it is a mammoth andthe stone looks like it has been smashed.The greatest artefact was the Trilobite fossil we know this because of the shape on the stone looksaged they could beYour artefacts were amazing ,thank you again.Yours sincerely,Poppy Morris(9) and Poppy Garland (8)




Dear Mrs Frost,Thank you for sending in the wonderful artefacts sorry to say this but Mr Hunt hadto throw away the bones because when he opened the box they smelt so bad that he had to throwthem away. But thank you so much for bringing the artefacts to our class.We thought some of them were Stone Age and some of them were.The glass was definitely not from the Stone Age because in the Stone Age times they didn't haveglass or crystal in that time period. They would find it Abbie hard to put them in the same size for all of them and they didn't have the materials to make the glass and the right size.In my opinion the Flint might be arrow heads because they look like arrow heads to me. As well Ithought they were little stones but why would you send the fossil even in the box anyway.Thank you again we are all grateful that you bought the artefacts to our schoolYours sincerely,Ruby Lockley (9)




Dear Mrs Frost,I would love to inform you that the bones are indeed 100% not from the StoneAge(they only just started decaying) but the mammoth stone however looks like it was caught by some fire in one of the caves and may have come out and was in they ground thousands of years ago and now is on the surface of the earth The glass could have been from the StoneAge because of a possibility of a really sunny day the nails were definitely not from the StoneAge becauseStone Age civilians were not able to get resources so powerful until 3000 BC and 700 and 500 BCand 43Ad the best evidence of the stone and glass is that the stone looks as if it's got amammoths on the stone.The trilobite is billions of years old and the evidence is that it could not be from any Time line ofearth because were the fish before fish.The stones look to be just regular stones and no evidence to of it to be from any past time periodand is just normal but they look like arrow heads and they look old.Hope to hear from you soon Yours Sincerely.Samuel Youle (9)



SY1 2AH Thursday 3rd November

Dear Mrs Frost,Thank you for letting us see your astonishing artefacts. In my opinion I think thedrawing on the rock is from the Stone Age it looked like a mammoth although it could of been someone drawing it on.I thought the flint stones could of been an arrow head.We have looked closelyand I think they are . The bones I'm afraid discomposed so Mr Hunt threw them away .So theywere definitely not from the Stone Age . The glass beads are definitely not from the Stone Agebecause glass wasn't invented. The fossil is not from the Stone Age because it is 1500 million years ago !It is a Trilobite and it is one of the first sea creature and swam and could not be eatenbecause they were too hard .They lived around Dinosaurs they lived very deep in the ocean andthey were a hard shell. But they are way older then this period of history .The nails were very oldand rusty but they could not be from this era so could be late Iron Age .I loved looking at yourArtefacts and if you find any thing also we would be interested in looking at that also.Thank you .Yours sincerelyTyler Phillips (8)
