SCHOOLCHILDREN from Verwood who have been learning about the Stone Age finished the topic with a trip to Stonehenge.

The year-three and year-four pupils from Hillside Community First School have been studying the prehistoric era.

They have not only learned facts about the time, but also some practical skills, including making their own axes and Stone Age village, complete with fire and fish-drying rack.

During the trip, children were able to marvel at the stones and look around the fascinating exhibition in the new visitors’ centre.
