This week we brought an artifact to school which we thought would provide clues about life in 2021 if it was discovered by someone in the future. We focused on the concepts form, function and perspective to answer questions about the artifacts. We then used these to write clues describing each artifact. The next day we laid out our objects on a grid and everyone took turns to read the clues. We had to listen carefully work out which item was being described and note down the coordinates of where the artifacts were located on the grid. At the end we discussed two items of rubbish which were on the grid, a banana peel and a coffee pod. We discussed the fact that archaeologists find rubbish interesting to find as it also gives clues about the past. We made some predictions about what might happen to the peel and coffee capsule if they were buried for a long time and then covered them with soil. We will check on them every couple of weeks to see what changes are occurring and find out if any of our predictions were correct.
