Archaeologists Bring History to Life for Stamford Junior School Pupils
Stamford Junior School recently welcomed expert archaeologists Alex Large (OS 20), Elliot Wade (OS 20), and Zachary Markin to work with Year 4 pupils as part of their History unit on the history of Stamford through the ages.
Pupils explored 1x1m test pits, used metal detectors to locate excavation sites, and identified and sorted historical artifacts. They uncovered evidence of Saxon and medieval life, offering a hands-on experience that made history come alive.
This enriching activity deepened students' understanding of Stamford’s heritage and allowed them to actively engage with local history. We extend a huge thank you to Alex, Elliot, and Zachary for this unforgettable learning opportunity.
