This week, the children have been exploring the exciting world of archaeology through their FIRST LEGO League Explore project. They have learned how archaeologists investigate the past by carefully digging, observing layers of soil, and discovering artifacts. The children developed their understanding of how important it is to handle findings gently and record information to learn about history.
Through building their LEGO model, they have used their creativity and problem-solving skills to design an archaeological dig site, including tools and technologies that can help with exploration. They have also learned how science, technology, engineering, and maths (STEM) are used together in real-life situations.
The children worked collaboratively as a team, sharing ideas, taking turns, and supporting one another. They practiced listening and respecting different viewpoints, making sure everyone was included. Throughout the week, they showed enthusiasm and curiosity, asking questions and enjoying the process of discovery.
Overall, the children have not only gained knowledge about archaeology and STEM, but also strengthened their teamwork, communication, and confidence.
