WHO says young children don t understand about coronavirus? Youngsters from three York primary schools have been drawing messages of hope to send to children around the world affected by the virus. Their pictures are full of wit, humour - and wisdom. Several drew Corona Stopper shields. In one picture, a giant needle is shown injecting a virus particle, while a boy shouts we did it! In another, a doctor in blue scrubs and facemask fires an antidote gun at a green virus blob, while a third shows a giant globe which is part blue-green Earth and part invading, spiky virus - with the Earth winning. Everywhere, there are reminders to wash your hands , stay at home and stop the spread .
EAGER young historians from a York primary school have been taking over the Twitter account of York Castle Museum today - inspired by the Trust s Stone Age Collection. Year three and four pupils from The Ralph Butterfield Primary School in Haxby were sent real Stone Age objects to study from York Museums Trust s collections, as part of their From Flint to Iron topic, looking at the everyday life of people of the Stone Age through to the Iron Age. Since then, they have been busy creating their own representations of Stone Age Artefacts, such as pendants, tools and cave drawings.
