We have more than twice as many followers over at that other place, but just to let you know we're returning to @millfieldlead tomorrow for all things Stone Age to Iron Age! #Leicester #ArchaeologyInSchools #KS2 #historyteacher

Introducing… the Peebles Hoard 🥁 ✨ It’s a spectacular collection of bronze, leather and wooden material dating to the Late Bronze Age (c.1000-800 BCE). Many of these objects have never been found before in Scotland. So, as you can imagine, we’re *pretty* excited

Day 2 with Years 3/4 @firsderby and yet more lovely kids! More great pots with Adrian and Prescious winning 3 dojos each, and to top it all one of them said BCE stands for Best Caveman Ever! 😂😂😂 #StoneAge #IronAge #ArchaeologyInSchools #KS2 #Derby
