3HW's Clay Beakers

3HW have had great fun this week using clay to make beakers, just like the ones used by the Beaker People in the Bronze Age. Beaker People used the beaker to store food and smelt tin and copper to make bronze. Beakers were found by archaeologists in the graves of Bronze Age people, which emphasises how important they were and they have helped historians to understand how Beaker People lived.
