During half term I went to visit Stonehenge. In our history lessons we have been learning about the Stone Age, where people used stones and rocks to make tools and build objects.

Stonehenge was built about 4,500 years ago, by a group of people using giant stones. I walked around the sculpture which was arranged in a circle where some stones were standing up, while others were lying down as they had fallen over.

Nobody knows exactly why it was built, but scientists think it might have been a special place to meet, worship, track the sun and moon, or it might have been a burial ground. The stones are very heavy, and it was amazing how people moved them into place without machinery.

It’s still a mystery and people are still trying to find out how they did it. I had a great experience at Stonehenge, and I would encourage others to go.
