Over May Half Term, Archaeodiscovery were back running HALF TERM DIG SCHOOL for children aged 7-12 yrs.
"Every Half Term we are kindly hosted by Blackboys School, to support children in Sussex, discover archaeology."
-Felicity Thompson (Archaeodiscovery)
Participants work with experienced professional archaeologists, DIGGING, MAKING and DOING.
The dig school was a two-day adventure in archaeology, where children experimented with a range of archaeological techniques. Emphasis is given to exploring ideas practically, using inspiring materials and looking at the processes of contemporary archaeologists working today.
Through a mixture of structured and open-ended activities this Half Term we explored the Victorians and the medieval period!
And of course there was lots of digging and discovery!
The focus of dig school was on working together, inspiring playfulness and inquisitiveness, through which children can make friends, learn new skills and grow in confidence.
