This week, Year 4 transformed into a team of brilliant archaeologists as we embarked on our very own classroom dig and what a discovery it was!
⛏️ A Mysterious Discovery
The children arrived to find a “dig site” filled with carefully buried artefacts. With great excitement (and impressive patience!), they gently uncovered objects, fragments, and clues hidden beneath the surface.
There were gasps, guesses and lots of curious questions as each item was revealed. what could it all mean?
🔍 Cracking the Clues
Once the artefacts were uncovered, the real challenge began. The children worked together to:
- Examine each object carefully
- Discuss what it might be
- Infer what it could tell us about the past
Using their detective skills, they pieced together clues to uncover the story behind the objects. The classroom was buzzing with ideas—everyone had a theory!
