Year 2

On Thursday 11 April, the students in Year 2 went on their Little Diggers excursion. This excursion complemented students’ exploration of their History unit in Term 1, The Past in the Present, as it focused on change and continuity in family life, and introduced students to significant people, events, places and sites in this local community over time. Students were immersed within learning experiences which encouraged them to use archaeology to unlock the world of The Rocks in early Sydney and appreciate the perspectives of people from the past. The children were very excited to work as archeologists to excavate and handle artefacts and explore the foundations of houses from the first years of European settlement.
