Clues From The Past - Tuning In

Today we spent time looking at the central idea and lines of inquiry for our unit - Clues From The Past.
Children had to solve a puzzle to work these out, and then shared their findings with the rest of the class. The 'smashed artifact' they were given contained important guidelines for our unit. They worked well together...problem solving and persevering! Well done team! I'll make archaeologists out of you yet!
