History in Team CH. Becoming Archaeologists!

​During their history lesson, Team CH drew on prior knowledge that linked directly to geography.

​They began by discussing the continents and identifying the one shown on the map. Next, they located the country we live in, followed by Scotland and the Orkney Islands. The children explored why this location might be important, making connections to their Design and Technology project on building a prehistoric home. Finally, they looked at pictures of Skara Brae, and then transformed into archaeologists—carefully brushing away the sand to reveal the artefacts hidden beneath.
