During the engage week we organised an archeological dig linked to the history of the site. (You can read about this here)
After the dig each group came out for their usual seesions over the next two weeks and were involved in designing thrones for Pharaoh.
Over the past months I had been collecting pallets from deliveries to school, usually they were left out in the service yard for disposal, but after reading an article on http://creativestarlearning.blogspot.co.uk/ I decided to start keeping them. Poor quality ones are used for firewood and out of the others I have constructed a wood store and in this activity the children saw an opportunity to use them for thier project.
Earlier groups kept their thrones to quite a low level but with some experimenting we found that it was possible to keep things quite stable and from their on groups became a little more daring with their designs.
Here are some of the results:-
