Discovering the cave of Lascaux…

As part of our topic, we have been exploring life during the Stone Age. In English this week, we read a story about a group of boys in France who stumbled upon an ancient cave, a cave that hadn’t been seen by anyone since the first inhabitants used it…in the Stone Age! The cave was filled with vibrant cave paintings of bison, cows and bears that were first drawn around 10000 years ago!

To help us empathise with the character in this story and consider their thoughts, feelings and motives, we created some drama of the moment the boys discovered the cave…

Class 9 – how do you think these boys felt when they stumbled upon this cave? What thoughts were running through their mind?

    i think they would have been eager to find out what comes next, but then be nervous and set back in case something goes wrong, (like getting lost) while exploring the cave.

    I think they would be nervous and terrified but also greedy [for treasure] and excited [because who wouldn’t be?]

    They must feel really overwhelmed by the whole experience and regretful in the tunnel that they’d come apart from Marcel and Jacques, Marcel was bored and Jacques was still really amazed! 🙂 😀 😛 😉 😀
