Create an archaeological dig in your classroom. #Key stage 2 #History #Stone Age to Iron Age #Romans #chronology #historical enquiry #local history #active learning This comprehensive resource has everything you need to create an archaeological mini dig in your classroom. Tailor the activity to the historical periods you study at school. Students will use a shoe box and layer objects and materials from different historic periods to create a stratified dig site for their peers to excavate. Cross curricular potential for: English (Creative Writing), Maths (Classification), Science (Everyday Materials), Art and Design (Drawing Skills), Geography (Human and Physical Geography). This resource was developed with professional archaeologists from Wessex Archaeology and piloted with staff and students at St Andrew’s CE Primary School, Soham, Cambridgeshire as part of The National Lottery Fund project ‘In the Footsteps of St Felix’ led by St Andrew’s Church Soham in 2023-4.
