Description

During lockdown it is not possible to get out and about with Beavers, so we visited Stonehenge over the internet.

Resources

Internet access to the webpage https://www.english-heritage.org.uk/visit/places/stonehenge/history-and-stories/stonehenge360/

Instructions

I used this as the last activity of a session. The questions (below) had been emailed to parents in advance.

Using Zoom I showed the Beavers how to look round Stonehenge, and how to watch the short videos provided by English Heritage.

I then closed the session and the Beavers could email me (under the supervision of their parents) with the answers.

Questions to cut and paste into an email:

Where did the “bluestones” come from?
When was “The Avenue” built?
When would you see the sun set through the “Great Trilithon”?
What symbols were carved into the stones during the Bronze Age?
What could the hire in the Victorian period to take with you to Stonehenge?
When was a Trilithon rebuilt?
